Syringes for Pfizer’s epoetin biosimilar have been outfitted with Needle-Trap needle protection labels from Schreiner MediPharm. The pairing marks the first time Needle-Trap will be utilized with medication for the treatment of anemia. The newly equipped needles will begin usage in Germany and Austria, followed by a rollout in the broader European market.

New York-based Pfizer, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, develops medicines, vaccines and over-the-counter products that aim to enrich and extend life. In search of a reliable solution to protect healthcare personnel from needlestick injuries when injecting the company’s epoetin product for the treatment of anemia, Pfizer chose Needle-Trap, from Germany-based Schreiner MediPharm, a global provider of specialty pharmaceutical labeling solutions.

Pfizer has been using the innovative label-based needle protection system on millions of syringes for a heparin drug since 2009.
