Business Wire - August 4, 2004
Over 20 million people have died from AIDS worldwide. According to the United Nations Report, more than 40 million people worldwide are infected with HIV/AIDS. The virus toll on Africa is worsening, almost 30 million, and an AIDS epidemic is poised to explode in Asia.
"U.S. Hospital needle pricks top 1,000 plus per day - CDC": This high volume of needle pricks alone reflects the need to adopt prevention strategies. Cell Bio-Systems' re-designed medical devices will provide a safer disposal, including safer design of disposal injection systems.
Marc Pilkington, president of Cell Bio-Systems, stated, "There is a great need for safer disposable instrumentation used by AIDS workers worldwide. The secure connection provided by the Super Luer along with the newly designed safety tip will provide such an instrument."
