Successful market entry for Schreiner’s Needle-Trap label

Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based provider of specialty pharmaceutical labels, has reported the successful international market entry of its Needle-Trap label. 

Designed to help prevent accidental needlestick injuries from disposable syringes, the Needle-Trap system was launched two years ago. The company reports that the system ‘has already impressed the international healthcare market with its innovation, cost-effectiveness and ease of use’. Millions of Needle-Trap labels have already been distributed. 

Needle-Trap features an integrated safety mechanism that is a component of the self-adhesive syringe label. The simple design allows the needle to be safely and easily secured after it has been used. Needle-Trap labels can be integrated into conventional labeling systems and are adaptable to the most common syringe types. 

The unique combination of a label with an injection-molded part places particularly high demands on the manufacturing process. Schreiner invested in a custom-made machine with the specific precision capabilities and quality controls necessary to accurately produce the Needle-Trap system. 

‘The Needle-Trap label has seen very high acceptance rates since its launch,’ said Gene Dul, president of Schreiner MediPharm L.P. ‘We believe that comes as a result of its innovative design and the critical purpose it serves in the healthcare industry. We remain committed to sharing its advantages with as many healthcare professionals as possible.’ 

A website devoted to Needle-Trap was recently created for both pharma manufacturers and users interested in learning about the needle protection system.
