Safe’n’Sound prevents accidental needle pricks

Nemera has developed Safe’n’Sound, an add-on safety device for prefilled syringes

Safe’n’Sound is a device for prefilled syringes to protect healthcare professionals, patients who self-inject doctor prescribed medications and individuals that assist self-injecting patients, from accidental needlesticks.

Safe’n’Sound improves users safety and injection conditions, but also the device complies with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation and the EU Council Directive 2010/32/EU according to Nemera.

Adrien Tisserand, parenteral category manager of Nemera, said: “In the parenteral industry, needlestick injuries are a global concern with more than three million exposures to blood occurring every year according to the World Health Organisation.

“As an open platform of add-on passive safety devices, Safe’n’Sound is compatible with a variety of 1-ml and 2.25-ml syringes.

“No extra gesture is required by the user compared to a naked syringe. The safety feature activates automatically at the end of the injection, easing the use.”

Tisserand continued: “Multiple simulated clinical user studies have been performed for Safe’n’Sound, all successful.”
