Marietta, GA – June 15, 2020:
Healthcare professionals, caregivers, and people who self-inject with safety pen needles want clear confirmation that their injection happened as it should and that the full medication dose was delivered. Owen Mumford is answering this need with the next generation safety pen needle: Unifine SafeControl.
Unifine SafeControl is built to protect against accidental needlestick injuries and give confidence that the complete medication dose has been delivered, combining safety and control throughout the injection. The product includes an innovative push tab, allowing one-handed control of the safety mechanism after injection, so the healthcare provider can activate it when ready. Unifine SafeControl also gives both visual and audio confirmation, plus dual protection.
Healthcare professionals who have used passive safety pen needles often report that design flaws make it hard to consistently provide a high standard of care for their patients. Common issues include hidden needles and accidental activations. A study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection also showed that pen injectors are linked to a higher rate of needlestick injuries among healthcare professionals giving injections. Unifine SafeControl addresses these challenges with an upgraded safety pen needle and new technology.
“Healthcare professionals and patients nationwide trust Unifine pen needles, and we’re excited to introduce a safety pen needle that’s truly different from any other option today. With double-ended protection and simple safety activation, using Unifine SafeControl gives another way for healthcare professionals to feel safe and confident while giving injections,” said Jim Lanza, Vice President of Sales at Owen Mumford Inc.
Adding Unifine SafeControl completes an already full range of capillary blood sampling and drug delivery devices. Whether you’re looking to expand your current options, replace or upgrade what you have, or find a more cost-effective solution, Owen Mumford has an answer.
“We’ve spoken with hundreds of healthcare professionals using first-generation safety pen needles to learn about how injections are managed and how products could be better. We’ve included this feedback in our newest innovation. Most reported Unifine SafeControl felt safe, was easy to use, and gave them user control1. Everyone felt confident the patient received the correct dose1. We are proud to help healthcare professionals treat their patients even better,” said Executive Vice President of Owen Mumford Inc, Travis Shaw.
Unifine SafeControl is now available in two sizes: 5mm 30G and 8mm 30G, with samples available from Owen Mumford. For more information or to request samples, visit unifinesafecontrol.com.
