By making medical devices disposable, the number of incidences of patients being infected has been greatly reduced. Even so, the complete elimination of needlestick injuries and miss-dosage of drugs, and the absolute guarantee of greater safety for medical personnel and patients have become major issues. The consideration of environmental problems caused by medical waste also must be addressed. At NIPRO, we are at the forefront of the prevention of needlestick and miss-connection incidents and are developing unique products that can help make systems truly safe. We have taken the initiative in development and utilization of new materials and devices that are gentle for both people and the environment. And, as only NIPRO can, we develop and offer various products for in-vitro diagnosis and testing equipment, which allow for faster and more accurate diagnosis and labor-saving during testing.
