About Sharps Technology

Sharps Technology offers a solution to a global healthcare crisis. The Sharps Provensa smart safety syringes are the first of their kind designed to eliminate two million potentially infectious, accidental needlestick injuries, as well as billions of dollars in medicine wasted with today's inefficient syringes. Sharps Provensa syringes address the important needs of the global healthcare market:

  • Provides automatic protection from accidental needlestick injection for clinicians and all who come in contact with contaminated needles.
  • Prevents improper reuse of both needle and syringe by automatically locking the plunger and shielded needle following injection.
  • Ultra Low-Waste™ dramatically reduces the number of costly medications discarded with inefficient injections.

The needle tips go through the skin sharp, delivering the medicine or vaccine, and come out of the body shielded, protecting the healthcare worker and the public. For the first time ever, needlesticks can be completely avoided, easing the financial burden on the healthcare system and giving clinical staff and the general public total protection and true peace of mind.
