EU member states passing national legislation for the prevention of needle stick injuries right now. This comes on the back of EU Council Directive (2010/32/EU), which took effect in May. This legal driver for the adoption of safe alternatives to traditional injections makes developing an effective, compliant pre filled syringe or injection device ever more important. To help you make the right decisions in your product development, SMi are holding the 6th Annual Pre-Filled Syringes conference and exhibition this January.
