West Pharma launches NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System in India

West Pharmaceutical Services has launched NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System, a singleuse accessory for prefilled ISO standard 0.5mL staked needle syringes, in India. With the introduction of the 0.5mL version, West’s awardwinning NovaGuard SA Pro safety system is now available for ISO 0.5mL standard and 1mL long glass staked needle syringes. The NovaGuard SA Pro safety system can be deployed using a single-handed technique and is designed to prevent pre-activation during handling. Furthermore, the device design facilitates easy assembly of a glass pre-filled syringe with minimal change parts and changeover time needed to existing assembly equipment lines at customer facilities. Earlier this year, West announced its partnership with domestic Indian pharma company Venus Remedies Ltd., whose brand Cloti-Xa utilizes West’s NovaGuard SA Pro 1mL safety system, which is designed for use with prefilled ISO standard 1mL long staked-needle syringes. With its current launch of the 0.5mL version for the Indian market, West is aiming to bring more value to local customers and the healthcare industry.
