Webinar: NovaGuard® SA Pro Safety System: Helping to Meet the Heightened Challenges of Safeguarding HCP Lives During the COVID-19 Pandemic 

It’s been estimated that of the 35 million global healthcare workers that exist, 2 million of them suffer needlestick injuries each year, with approximately 500,000 of these occurring in the US. Of these, about 40% of cases go unreported each year. Due to these high numbers, regulations, laws and directives have been set to try to reduce needlestick injuries among healthcare workers. Consequently, some customers are now scrambling to understand what safety devices exist for their current and pipeline prefilled syringe (PFS) products. This webinar will discuss the need for safety devices and how the current COVID-19 pandemic is expected to accelerate adoption of regulations set to increase the use of safety devices to safeguard healthcare workers.
