Enhancing the safety of dose preparation has guided every Baxa innovation since we launched our first product in 1975. Developing products and systems to raise the safety bar even higher is a Baxa hallmark.
When Baxa Corporation was founded, oral liquid medications were dosed with teaspoons or graduated cups. Inaccurate and even dangerous doses resulted. Additionally, the use of luer syringes to deliver non-sterile oral liquid medications raised the possibility of accidental injection within the hospital.
The Baxa oral syringe, with a special tip that is incompatible with IV connections, was the first product of its kind to provide a highly accurate, completely safe method for dosing oral liquid drugs that prevented the opportunity for administration errors.
The early success of the Baxa oral syringe encouraged the company to look into streamlining and automating other time-consuming procedures involving fluid medications.
Today, Baxa is the leading provider of products that promote the safe and efficient preparation, handling, packaging and administration of fluid medications. Baxa automated systems and disposables help pharmacies deliver more than 450,000 safe patient doses every day.
Our commitment to safety is reflected in everything we do, and our passion for creating a culture of safety in health systems worldwide is demonstrated through the Culture of Safety Facebook page that Baxa sponsors.
