This week, West is delighted to be at the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Europe Annual Meeting in Berlin, Germany. During the show, we will provide more information on our Rigid Needle Shield (RNS). Designed to provide added safety for prefilled syringes with a staked needle, the West RNS helps assure the integrity of injectable drug products. The West RNS will be showcased along with West’s comprehensive product portfolio and technical insights.
Pharmaceutical companies continue to look for drug packaging and delivery solutions that offer safety, efficiency, and an improved experience for patients and care providers alike. As a trusted partner to the world’s top pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, West understands the important role that component and delivery system technologies play in helping to improve patient outcomes. We’re proud to provide the West RNS as an offering that helps support the safe, effective delivery of injectable medicines to patients around the world.
The West RNS helps preserve and protect the integrity of injectable drug products and provides added safety for ISO prefilled syringes with a staked needle. Manufactured from best-in-class elastomers especially designed for prefilled applications, the West RNS combines the sealing properties of soft rubber shields with the rigidity of a medical grade polypropylene cover. It safeguards against needle tip damage and deformation when removing a rigid needle shield from a prefilled syringe, and offers a comfortable design for healthcare providers and patients to help ensure proper de-shielding. Additionally, the West RNS is designed for easy distribution and orientation on syringe assembly lines from different vendors, offering flexibility for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
West also participated in the pre-conference workshop, “Business Opportunities In Iran.” Christa Jansen-Otten, Director, Global Product Management, Prefilled Systems & Delivery, West, led a session on trends in prefilled syringe technologies as part of this workshop designed for companies to share information to develop successful collaborations in Iran.

The global prefilled syringe market is growing rapidly, and approximately 60% of prefilled syringes use staked needles. To help ensure the integrity of the drug products contained within, the majority of staked-needle prefilled syringes use Rigid Needle Shields (RNS).
The ongoing trend of the pharmaceutical industry is shifting toward pre-filled syringes (PFS) as the optimal delivery system for many drug products. Among other risk factors, the safety of a drug product depends on the quality of the elastomeric components.
Several of West’s experts will be featured speakers at The Universe of Prefilled Syringes and Injection Devices organized by 2013 PDA Europe, which will be held November 5-6, 2013, in Basel, Switzerland. West’s representatives will report on the latest trends in the world of prefilled syringes and innovations in the field of self-injection devices.
<p>The needle of a pre-filled syringe is extremely important. From manufacture, through packaging/transportation, to patient delivery – if the needle is not protected, the drug product cannot be delivered effectively. To protect needles to ensure patient safety, West has developed <a href="/products/prefillable-systems/syringe-components/rigid-needle-shields-and-tip-caps">Rigid Needle Shields </a>(RNS) in two sizes: 1/2” for subcutaneous injections (e.g., heparins) and 5/8” for intramuscular injections (e.g., vaccines). RNS consist of a two-part system – a soft rubber inner shell and a perforated, hard polypropylene outer shell. This system maintains container closure integrity (CCI) for both an ISO 11040 glass syringe with staked needle, and a polymer-based syringe (e.g., <a href="/products/prefillable-systems/daikyo-syringe-systems/insert-needle-syringe-components">Daikyo Crystal Zenith® insert needle syringe</a>).</p>
