DropSafe Inject-Safe Barrier Bandage

Providing clinicians with an increased level of protection during vaccine administration this flu season

October 31, 2022

Vaccination programs continue to be a key initiative for the US healthcare system specifically in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and pharmacies. Co-administration of vaccinations has become increasingly common (Flu + COVID-19 Booster, etc) following the latest CDC recommendation that providers should offer all vaccines for which a person is eligible at the same visit.


As the volume of vaccines administered increases through co-administration, what frequent risks do healthcare professionals face when delivering vaccinations?

  1. Potential for blood pathogen exposure due to direct contact with injection site after the vaccination.
  2. Needlestick injury (NSI) resulting from failure to immediately activate the safety mechanism of the contaminated needle.



DropSafe Inject-Safe Barrier Bandage is the latest innovation for immunizations, designed to protect frontline caregivers from the risks associated with contaminated sharps post-injection.


What is DropSafe Inject-Safe Barrier Bandage?

A patented pre-injection self-adhesive bandage applied prior to subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, providing containment of post-injection bleeding.
