2019 New Product of the Year Award

HTL-STREFA, a leading medical device company belonging to MTD Group (www.mtdglobal.com), was presented with the McKesson 2019 New Product of the Year Award by McKesson Global Sourcing. The Prevent® DropSafe™ product was launched in collaboration between the two companies to deliver unique benefits to both patients and caregivers all at a savings over existing product options. The Prevent® DropSafe™ Safety Pen Needle is unique in that it is the first in the United States to utilize 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.

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, Account Executive for HTL-STREFA.

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,” said the Director of McKesson Global Sourcing.
