DropSafe™ Sicura Passive Safety Needle: The Newest Innovation to Protect Against Needlestick Injury

HTL-Strefa

March 11, 2024

HTL-Strefa, along with NuEdge Alliance, have recently added a new revolutionary product to their contract: the DropSafe Sicura Passive Safety Needle. Destined to transform the way healthcare professionals provide safe injections, this is the first and only fully passive safety needle designed to eliminate needlestick injuries.

The unique features of DropSafe Sicura passive safety needle provide clinicians with the highest level of confidence in their safety against needlestick injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure while providing drug injections. Data shows that needlestick injuries most commonly occur prior to successful activation of the safety mechanism of the contaminated sharp, but before safe disposal. DropSafe Sicura sets a new standard for safety with a unique, automatic “TripliSafe” safety shield. DropSafe Sicura is sure to be an industry-game changer, by instantly locking the safety mechanism after the injection is complete. Healthcare professionals have immediate protection without the need to manually activate a safety mechanism.


Their TripliSafe™ Shield ensures the needle remains covered at all times, protecting healthcare professionals from accidental contact before, during, and after administration.

DropSafe Sicura is intended for sterile, single-use injections, used in conjunction with a (pre-)filled syringe for subcutaneous and intramuscular injection. This product can be used for any drug injections, including vaccinations with pre-filled syringes. Being both luer lock and luer slip compatible, it can be used with any common syringe sizes.

Beyond preventing needlestick injuries for the benefit of clinician, DropSafe Sicura can offer the following benefits:

  • Leveraging a validated safety design: Sicura uses the same passive safety mechanism technology that is widely used today with safety pen needles (in conjunction with insulin pen injectors) across millions of injections annually nationwide.
  • Improve sustainability in the healthcare ecosystem: Sicura helps to offset the significant plastic use in the incremental medical devices required for the testing & treatment of clinician receiving a needlestick injury, including but not limited to needles, syringes, vacutainers, assays, etc.
  • Reduce expenses for health systems related to needlestick injuries: Through elimination of NSIs, Sicura can off set up to $7k per NSI event as well as unquantifiable indirect costs.

The current version available through NuEdge is the DropSafe Sicura Passive Safety Needle, 25Gx1” 50/bx, 12/bx/cs, with more size options arriving in the near future.
