ITL BioMedical, a division of ITL that sets industry standards for the innovative design and production of biological sampling systems for human and animal use, is pleased to announce the global launch of its highly innovative patented DonorCare® Needle Guard 2 will take place at the AABB Annual Meeting in Orlando, the premiere event for healthcare professionals in transfusion medicine and cellular therapies.
ITL has been selling the first generation DonorCare Needle Guard for over 15 years and has sold in excess of 200 million units in over 50 countries.
First generation DonorCare Needle Guard set a global industry standard for whole blood collection needle guards. The highly innovative DonorCare® Needle Guard 2 provides robust functionality with enhanced features including visual confirmation that the needle is safely locked in place, along with an audible click.
The DonorCare Needle Guard 2 design allows safe and fast needle withdrawal from any angle, immediately shielding whole blood collection needles and providing users a high level of protection from potential biohazard exposure and needlestick injury. Featuring a simple and user-friendly design, the product requires minimal training and can be easily incorporated into existing processes.
ITL BioMedical has also produced an efficient design that will enable manufacturers to pre-attach DonorCare Needle Guard 2 onto blood bag tubing. Bill Mobbs, Executive Chairman of ITL BioMedical commented “It is very rewarding to take a global industry standard product up to the next level.
“As with all of our innovative products, DonorCare 2 needle guard was designed with end user input from the beginning, and we feel confident this product will be as successful as its predecessor.”
