Med-Design Seeks Patents on Needle Safety Devices
Med-Design Corp., a Philadelphia-based producer of medical safety devices that has a subsidiary in Ventura, has applied for patents on two newly developed instruments designed to reduce accidental needle injuries among health-care workers.
Med-Design owns MDC Research Ltd., a manufacturing and development unit that in July leased a large plant on Ventura’s Bunsen Avenue.
One of the patent applications involves a retracting needle that delivers solutions intravenously. The other is for three systems to be used with pre-filled drug and vaccine syringes.
James M. Donegan, Med-Design’s chairman and president, said the company is following a “market-driven strategy that is based on the needs and opportunities we see in various areas of the global health-care industry.”
MDC Research has taken a multiyear lease on a 26,000-square-foot facility that is to become a pilot manufacturing center. The building will also house research-and-development operations and executive offices.
