Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world.... And to be honest, we’ve never stopped believing that.
In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue that was profoundly impacting the healthcare industry HIV acquired through needle-stick injuries.
In Australia, we lived out our dream. Investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and taking on the industry status quo to petition for higher standards in sharps protection, we witnessed an 80+ percent reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide.
And then we kept going...As we continue to expand, we're excited to open our doors for an individual to join our business development team!
