Needle-Trap in International Use
Schreiner MediPharm Launches Mass Production of Needle-Trap
Oberschleissheim, September 29, 2010 – Schreiner MediPharm has developed an economical and safe solution that protects against needlestick injuries: Needle-Trap consists of a label-integrated needle-trapping device that secures the blood-contaminated needle after the injection, thus protecting healthcare professionals from needlestick injuries. Schreiner MediPharm has now successfully launched mass production of Needle-Trap.
The novel combination of a label with an injection-molded part—the needle trap—involves special requirements in the production process. Therefore, a purpose-built production line in which all of the components are precisely adapted to each other has been taken into operation. One-hundred-percent camera inspections ensure consistent quality throughout the manufacturing process. Millions of Needle-Trap units have already been delivered and convince users in healthcare practice due to the product’s safe and easy handling.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, Needle-Trap’s compact design and easy integration into existing production processes provide the benefits of a low-cost investment and minimal space requirements. The combination of a label and needle protection can be processed on conventional labeling equipment with only minor modifications at dispensing speeds of up to 400 units per minute.
Not only the start of production went smoothly, the system is also a compelling solution in the marketplace: due to the integration of the needle protection with the label Needle-Trap offers cost benefits over conventional needle protection systems. In addition, this solution reduces material and packaging requirements and is thus beneficial for the environment.
