Industrial Engineer

Overview

Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world. 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 invested years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and to petition for higher standards in sharps protection, witnessing an 80+ percent reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide.
