HTL-STREFA's Prevent DropSafe Safety Pen Needles awarded McKesson's 2019 New Product of the Year

Medical device company HTL-STREFA is the recipient of the McKesson 2019 New Product of the Year Award. The award, presented by McKesson Global Sourcing was given to the company for its Prevent DropSafe Safety Pen Needle. 

The needle utilizes a thin 31-gauge needle intended to enhance patient's comfort. It also has a patented needle viewing window to help aid in priming confirmation and the outer cover can be placed on the back-end for dual-end protection for caregivers.

"All of us at HTL-STREFA are grateful for receiving this coveted award from the McKesson Global Sourcing leadership team. This award exemplifies how our long-standing partnership with McKesson improves the quality of healthcare while reducing the cost burden to the healthcare system," said Shelly Phillips, HTL-STREFA account executive.

McKesson Global Sourcing said, "We knew by collaborating with HTL-STREFA on the Prevent DropSafe Safety Pen Needle launch we would bring a unique product to market with many desirable benefits at a lower cost to our customers."
