In 2015 Métier Medical widened its footprint as an advocate for safe injection policy and the use of safety engineered injection devices with the election of the Company’s US based President to the World Health Organisation’s committee to assist in the implementation of it’s global Safe Injection policy announced in February 2015.
Supporting the Company’s initiative, development of the Métier Medical Safe-T-Clip™ safety needle with patent pending Secure-Lok ™ locking mechanism was completed in 2015 and is designed to prevent the incidence of needlestick injury to healthcare workers. First orders have been shipped to South Africa and pending orders show a very solid market for the US on completion of FDA around February 2016.
