With a focus on healthcare worker safety, West offers customers an easy, one-step solution to help mitigate needlestick injuries while providing tamper evidence. The NovaGuard® SA Pro safety system is a single-use accessory for PFS-related biologic or small molecule projects that use a pre-filled ISO standard 0.5mL and 1mL long staked-needle syringe and require a safety device. Using a low activation force, the NovaGuard® SA Pro safety system can be activated with a single-handed technique to shield the exposed needle and help prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
