West’s NovaGuard SA Safety System

West Pharmaceutical Services out of Exton, Pennsylvania won FDA clearance for its innovative NovaGuard SA safety system that prevents needle-sticks by providing a mechanism that can be activated to cover the needle immediately after injection. It has an indicator if the shield has been damaged and will become non-functional if that happens to make sure it’s disposed of properly.

The device is compatible with prefilled ISO standard glass syringes.
