NEW YORK, June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharps Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, has made the first shipment of its 1mL and 3mL Securegard smart safety syringe line to the Latin American healthcare market. Transfusion Set
The initial product orders were placed through a collaborative effort between Sharps and a Latin American distribution partner based in Colombia and represent a significant step towards promoting safer healthcare practices in the region. Tapping into the growing interest in safety syringe technology in Latin America, the collaboration will make the Securegard syringe line available to hospitals, pharmacies, and direct points of sale and will give healthcare networks access to utilizing the technology and firsthand experience with its real-world benefits.
“This shipment is a great step in building strategic partnerships within the entire Latin American distribution network and supporting region-wide efforts to improve medical safety and healthcare outcomes,” comments Robert Hayes, Sharps Technology CEO. “While implementing wide-scale change can be challenging, based on our studies we are confident that once healthcare practitioners use Securegard syringes, they will want to continue to use them, leading to long-term purchase orders and deliveries.”
Securegard syringes provide clinicians with an ultra-low waste drug delivery technology that incorporates active safety features as well as World Health Organization accredited re-use prevention measures. These features maximize the amount of drug therapy that is available to patients while both protecting frontline healthcare workers from life-threatening needle stick injuries and protecting the public from the dangers of needle re-use. The introduction of Securegard technology into Latin America can greatly enhance the overall quality level of healthcare available in that market.
Securegard syringes offer a promising drug delivery solution for healthcare markets, facilities, and providers by incorporating safety and re-use prevention features into their design. Moreover, the use of ultra-low waste syringe technology ensures that the maximum number of doses of needed drug therapies can be made available to the people who depend on them. This is not only beneficial for healthcare professionals and patients across the vast Latin American market, but also sets a positive example for other regions to follow in adopting sustainable and safe medical practices.

China is pressing India to restart direct passenger flights after a four-year halt, but New Delhi is resisting as a border dispute continues to weigh on ties between the world's two most populous countries, officials said. India-China relations have been tense since the biggest military confrontation in decades on their disputed Himalayan border killed 20 Indian and at least four Chinese soldiers in June 2020. Since the clash, India has made it difficult for Chinese companies to invest, banned hundreds of popular apps and severed passenger routes, although direct cargo flights still operate between the Asian giants.
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia-China trade options have narrowed since the U.S. imposed sanctions last week on the only Russian bank branch in China, but President Vladimir Putin's Chinese visit last month has helped ensure the two countries have payment alternatives for now, three sources said. Since Putin's visit, specially authorised banks have been set up in border regions which allow Russian firms to open non-resident accounts (NRA) with Chinese banks, a step that has become more important since VTB's Shanghai branch was targeted with sanctions, they told Reuters. Trade between Russia and China ballooned to a record $240 billion in 2023.
Chinese foundries, such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) and Hua Hong Semiconductor Group, are ramping up capacity amid fears of more US tech sanctions, according to an industry report. While the country's chip makers lag behind players such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) and Samsung Electronics in chip-processing technology, they are "actively" increasing investment in new capacity to accommodate the demand for legacy chips used in applications such as c
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing a policy conundrum after losing ground in the recent election: how to control food inflation without resorting to export curbs and more imports - steps that have angered farmers, a sizeable voting bloc. While Modi managed to retain power in a coalition government, his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) faces provincial elections later this year in two key agricultural states - Haryana and Maharashtra - that have strong farm lobbies. Losses in the two states could diminish the BJP's stature in the newly formed coalition government, weakening Modi as he seeks the consent of allies for policy initiatives for the first time since he took office a decade ago.
Chinese car firms have asked Beijing to take "the most stringent measures" against the European Union after the bloc raised import tariffs on its electric vehicles (EV). An online media outlet under state broadcaster CCTV on Wednesday also made accusations of "snooping" into China's EV technology. The Yuyuantantian news outlet's social media account cited a closed-door meeting at China's Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday involving four Chinese and six European firms plus trade groups.

Driverless car companies confront fundamental challenges, but Musk is banking on an autonomous future.
Electric vehicle sales are surging in Southeast Asia, led by China's BYD and Vietnam's VinFast, eating into the internal combustion engine car market dominated by Japanese and Korean firms, Counterpoint Research said on Friday.
The European Union announced on June 12th that it would levy additional tariffs of up to 38 per cent on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), which could deal a blow to domestic EV companies. Unlike the quadrupling of tariffs announced by the White House last month, whose impact appears to be minimal because so few Chinese-made EVs are sold in the US, the EU's new levies are likely to inflict some pain as the bloc has long been considered a major destination for the country's electric cars. The 27 EU
OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada's retail sales expanded by 0.7% in April as expected, bucking a trend of decline in the last three months, as sales at gasoline pumps boosted the overall numbers, data showed on Friday. Retail sales, which comprise sales of motor vehicles, clothing, furniture, food and beverages among others, grew to C$66.80 billion ($48.78 billion) on a monthly basis, Statistics Canada said. For May, a flash estimate by Statscan surveying only half of the respondents for a preliminary estimate showed that retail sales would likely drop by 0.6%.
Over 80% of Chinese vehicle firms are less confident about investing in Europe in the near-term, reports a China Chamber of Commerce to the EU survey.
Two of Toyota's top suppliers, Denso and Aisin, have sold off holdings in several Toyota-affiliated companies, regulatory filings showed on Thursday, in the latest reduction of cross-shareholding across the sprawling automotive group. Denso, one of the world's largest makers of automotive components, had sold off its stakes in Toyota Group companies Toyota Boshoku Toyota Tsusho, Toyoda Gosei and Hino Motors, among others, as of the financial year that ended in March, a filing showed. Aisin had also reduced its stakes in those companies to zero, as well as sold off its Denso stake, according to a separate filing.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced a new partnership with chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) at its HPE Discover 2024 event in Las Vegas this week, where the former unveiled its "Nvidia AI Computing by HPE" portfolio of AI products. Among these new offerings is the HPE Private Cloud AI. HPE CEO Antonio Neri joins Yahoo Finance's Josh Lipton and Yasmin Khorram "And the core of that, we really focus on the enterprise segment of the market, because when you think about AI, there is the model builders and the hyperscalers, you have the sovereign clouds, and the enterprise," Neri says. "Obviously, we've already seen tremendous traction on the model builder side and the hyperscalers, but we focus on enterprise. And at the core of that is how we deliver a simple AI solution to consume on-premises." Neri was joined onstage by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to announce this partnership at Neri's keynote address on Tuesday, June 18. Neri foresees the partnership to "accelerate that adoption" of HPE's enterprise services. Many consumers are still hesitant to engage with AI, which Neri assures he has greatly considered "the human focus" and concern about data security: "And so the point is that we built all of those guardrails into the offer itself. And we believe this is going to help customers feel more comfortable around this. But ultimately is the data-first approach. And we need to make sure that we protect our data." Neri also touches upon Hewlett Packard Enterprise's AI servers and what sets them apart from the rest of the industry.
