West Pharma, Venus Remedies to launch safe syringes in India

West Pharmaceutical Services has recently announced its partnership with Haryana based pharma company Venus Remedies Ltd. whose brand Cloti-Xa has made its introduction in the growing low molecular weight heparin market and has adopted the NovaGuard SA Pro safety system, a single-use accessory for prefilled ISO standard 1mL long staked-needle syringes. The NovaGuard SA Pro safety system is a product with innovative safety features that help protect healthcare workers and patients from accidental needlestick injuries. Several biopharmaceutical manufacturers have commented that this product delivers a compelling total cost of ownership in that it prevents pre-activation, offers a lower syringe snap-in force and a lower activation force for end-user comfort, and mitigates the practice of recapping which helps to provide tamper evidence to customers.
