Effective Protection against needle stick injuries – RauSafe™

Worldwide, there are an estimated 3.5 million needle stick injuries annually in doctors' offices, hospitals and in the home care field. Associated with this is a risk of infection with dangerous viral diseases such as HBV, HCV or HIV. The resulting health and financial consequences after an infection are risk factors that have to be taken seriously.

In May 2013, the new EU Directive 2010/32/EU for the prevention of needle stick injuries came into force in all Member States of the EU. It dictates that employers in the medical field should provide systems with an integrated safety mechanism.

For this reason Raumedic has developed a new safety device for injection systems. RauSafe can be adapted to a variety of existing injection systems on the market and provides reliable protection whilst being simple and intuitive to use.

The RauSafe safety device can be activated after an injection by simply pushing it forward. As soon as the needle is completely enclosed, you can hear and feel the system click into the end position.

Drug Delivery

Drugs can only develop full efficacy if they are correctly dosed. However, experience reveals that many patients use their drugs incorrectly. Therefore the market is increasingly demanding precise and user-friendly dosing aids. The company develops customised drug delivery systems which offer better handling, exact dosage, easier and safer application as well as better patient compliance.
    
Therefor Raumedic and DS Technology offer a patented system which enables easy and safe dosing of drugs in the form of pellets.

Imprecise dosing is prevented through the exact predosing by the pharmacist. Therefore, this system is perfectly suited for the areas pediatrics and geriatrics.

Raumedic is capable to produce and package the plastic components fully automatically. Filling and packaging of XStraw™ is handled by DS Technology at its fully automatic assembly line.

Another example, that has already been developed and patented by Raumedic, is a new dosing syringe with an external locking mechanism for the application of liquid drugs. The dosing is adjustable in increments of 0.5 ml which permits an individual and exact dosage.
