The International Sharps Injury Prevention Society (ISIPS) is proud to announce HTL-Strefa, a company of the MTD Group (Medical Technology and Devices), as our latest corporate member. Both organizations are celebrating Global Immunization Week to highlight the critical role of vaccinations in enhancing public health. In the last 50 years, immunization has decreased infant mortality by 40%. This means more children now reach their 5th birthday than ever before in human history. Celebrate and protect this incredible achievement. A healthier world is #HumanlyPossible.
Vaccination campaigns are conducted across the US in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and pharmacies. Following the latest CDC guidelines, co-administration of vaccines, such as the Flu and COVID-19 booster, is encouraged at the same visit to improve coverage.
While increased vaccination rates contribute significantly to global health improvements, healthcare providers continue to face challenges such as potential blood pathogen exposure and needlestick injuries (NSI) due to improper handling of safety mechanisms post-injection.
Introducing the DropSafe® Immunization Safety Suite by HTL-Strefa
To enhance the safety of those administering vaccinations, HTL-Strefa is excited to introduce the DropSafe® Immunization Safety Suite. This suite includes a selection of top-quality products designed to ensure the safety of healthcare providers during immunizations.
Featured Products:
