Credence MedSystems said yesterday that it won a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the development of its Companion dual-chamber reconstitution syringe for use in developing nations.
The development project is meant to advance the safety of the Companion device for drug and vaccine products, which include storing drugs in dried form until time of use, Credence said in a news release. Conventional approaches can lead to human error, contamination and needlestick exposure, the company added. The amount of the grant was not specified.
