ShrinkSafe ID Bands
Baxa Corporation has developed a new approach to reducing the number of medication errors associated with neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs). ShrinkSafe ID bands, which are plastic sleeves that fit snugly around injectable drug vials, force users to remove an additional cover before administering high-alert medications. This extra step is an easy and cost-effective way to reduce the number of medication errors associated with paralytic agents. For more information, visit http://www.baxa.com.
