Sharps Technology Enters Latin American Market and Receives First Orders for Securegard Disposable Smart Safety Syringes from Strategic Distribution Partner in Colombia
22 February 2024 - 12:00AM
Sharps Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an
innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company
offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, is preparing to
make the first shipment of its 1mL and 3mL Securegard smart safety
syringe line to the Latin American healthcare market.
The initial product orders have been placed through a
collaborative effort between Sharps and a Latin American
distribution partner based in Colombia and represent a significant
step towards promoting safer healthcare practices in the region.
Tapping into the growing interest in safety syringe technology in
Latin America, the collaboration will make the Securegard syringe
line available to hospitals, pharmacies, and direct points of sale
and will give healthcare networks access to utilizing the
technology and firsthand experience with its real-world
benefits.
“We are building strategic partnerships within the entire Latin
American distribution network to support region-wide efforts to
improve medical safety and healthcare outcomes. While implementing
wide-scale change can be challenging, we are well positioned to
introduce Securegard to healthcare agencies and facilities across
the region,” comments Robert Hayes, Sharps Technology CEO. “Based
on prior studies, we are confident that once healthcare
practitioners use Securegard syringes, they will want to continue
to use them in their practice, leading to ongoing purchase
orders.”
Securegard syringes provide clinicians with an ultra-low waste
drug delivery technology that incorporates active safety features
as well as World Health Organization accredited re-use prevention
measures. These features maximize the amount of drug therapy that
is available to patients while both protecting frontline healthcare
workers from life-threatening needle stick injuries and protecting
the public from the dangers of needle re-use. The introduction of
Securegard technology into Latin America can greatly enhance the
overall quality level of healthcare available in that market.
Product manufacturing is currently underway at the Sharps EU
facility, with delivery planned to occur within the next 90
days.
Securegard syringes offer a promising drug delivery solution for
healthcare markets, facilities, and providers by incorporating
safety and re-use prevention features into their design. Moreover,
the use of ultra-low waste syringe technology ensures that the
maximum number of doses of needed drug therapies can be made
available to the people who depend on them. This is not only
beneficial for healthcare professionals and patients across the
vast Latin American market, but also sets a positive example for
other regions to follow in adopting sustainable and safe medical
practices.
