Baxa Releases New Safety-Focused Product Catalog

Englewood, Colo. – Baxa Corporation, a Denver-based manufacturer of medical devices and systems, announces the release of its new 2007 safety-focused product catalog. Pharmacy safety enhancement has guided every Baxa innovation since their first product introduction more than 30 years ago. That product, the Exacta-Med® Oral Dispenser, has been the industry standard for safe administration of oral liquid medications ever since.

Exacta-Med Dispensers provide pharmacists and healthcare practitioners a non-hypodermic, latex-free alternative to inexact teaspoons, cups and syringes; protecting patients from the risk of potentially dangerous dosing levels and accidental injection.

With its corporate focus on safety standards and compliance, Baxa wanted a new catalog that reflected that focus and emphasized the latest technology for pharmacy safety. Specialty products throughout the catalog are highlighted with brief ‘stories’ demonstrating their safety focus. “This more personal approach is a real departure for a medical products catalog,” says Marian Robinson, VP of Marketing. “And we think it highlights the critical issue of ensuring patient safety. Each catalog section describes the product benefits in terms of that goal.”

For more than three decades Baxa has maintained the highest standards for safety in the pharmacy. Now that commitment to patient safety and pharmacy support has expanded into a new arena: professional development. Throughout its pages, the Baxa catalog promotes pharmacy best practice, production efficiency, and most of all, safety.
