Dublin, Jan. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Closed System Drug Transfer Devices" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Interest in closed system drug transfer devices has been growing as regulatory activity and practitioner awareness surrounding hazardous drug compounding and administration continue to increase. Drugs deemed hazardous to humans has been receiving increasing amounts of scrutiny in recent years as the dangers of these substances become more clearly understood. For caregivers and their patients, the therapeutic area that is at the forefront of attempts to mitigate exposure to cytotoxic drugs is clinical oncology, a field that - in spite of promising new drugs based on therapeutic antibodies - continues to rely heavily on antineoplastics, a class that includes alkylating agents and antimetabolites, to treat a wide range of cancers.
Regulatory and industry efforts to create standards and procedures for closed system drug transfer devices are designed to protect workers and patients from accidental and incidental exposure to cytotoxics are being driven by data that suggests a causal link between exposure and health issues. This report analyzes devices, regulations, markets and participants competing in the closed system drug transfer device segment and provides insight, analysis, assessments and forecasts to assist readers in navigating this rapidly evolving sector.
