New Survey by Greystone Associates Analyzes the Impact of Evolving Market Factors

(Amherst, NH) – Concern over sharps cross-contamination and caregiver safety continues to drive technology and commercial innovation in the safety syringe sector. Following the lead of the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act in the U.S., government regulations regarding syringe needle handling and disposal continue to proliferate worldwide, fostering increased demand in the use of safety syringes.

While safety syringe products encompass a broad range of design approaches including manual and auto disabling devices, retractable syringes represent the most elegant approach to addressing the caregiver sharps risk issue by de-emphasizing the need for a sharps disposal step. New retractable designs address caregiver preferences and mitigate the cost premium associated with retractable models.
