Inviro Medical Devices to Showcase Its Occupational Health and Safety Innovation at 2008 Association of Occupational Health Professionals Conference
Infection Control Company's InviroSNAP!® Flu Trays Reduce Waste and Increase Efficiency of Administration of Flu Shots with Unique Safety Syringes
ATLANTA – September 16, 2008 – Inviro Medical Devices (www.inviromedical.com), a company dedicated to providing safe medication delivery systems to improve occupational health and safety, announced that it will showcase its InviroSNAP!® Flu Trays at the annual Association of Occupational Health Professionals (AOHP) Conference from September 17 – 20, 2008 in Denver, Colorado. The flu trays contain 25 – 3ml 1" safety syringes and are available with 40 trays in a case. The trays are designed specifically for institutions and companies that administer flu shots in mass.
With flu season approaching, facilities -- such as the ones where the conference attendees practice -- are preparing for the usual large crowd of patients and co-workers seeking flu shots. Efficiency, occupational health and safety, and reduction of waste are three key components to consider when a practice is responsible for administering a significant quantity of flu shots.
Inviro Medical Devices' Flu Trays are packaged for easy access, including 25 sterile unwrapped safety syringes in a sealed tray (rather than 25 individually packaged, unopened syringes). The Flu Trays include Inviro's flagship, patented InviroSNAP!® Safety Syringes. This technology bridges the gap between bulky retro-fitted designs and more expensive automatic retractables. The syringes are easy to use and engineered with a safety feature integral to the design. After using standard techniques to administer a medication dose, the clinician pulls the plunger back, causing the needle to retract inside the barrel. The plunger is then snapped off, permanently disabling the device. The Flu Tray safety syringes also effectively decrease the amount of dead space, which is the amount of medication left in the syringe after the shot is administered.
"We look forward to attending the annual AOHP Conference and gaining valuable feedback from front-line healthcare professionals,” says Barbara Bialek, Sales and Marketing Administrative Director of Inviro Medical Devices. "We know conference attendees will recognize how Inviro's Flu Tray addresses concerns about bulk administration of flu shots, and we are eager to secure additional observations from those occupational safety and health professionals that use our products."
The annual AOHP Conference brings occupational healthcare professionals, such as nurses, physicians, case managers, and human resource administrators, from around the nation together for specialized training workshops, industry discussions, and educational seminars to promote occupational health and safety. Medical suppliers attend to showcase cutting-edge products that enable healthcare professionals to perform their jobs more efficiently. To learn more about Inviro Medical Devices’ InviroSNAP!
