MedPro Safety Products, Inc., a company that develops and markets medical safety devices incorporating proprietary needlestick prevention technology, has achieved 13485:2003 ISO certification, a significant designation that confirms that the company meets international standards for medical device manufacturing.
Registration to ISO 13485 is an important milestone. The registration provides recognition that a company’s processes are fully compliant with market expectations for quality medical device production and performance.

We are very pleased to have attained this certification, as it says a tremendous amount about MedPro, the quality of the products that we deliver, and the systems we have in place to ensure those standards are met. We believe this certification will instill added confidence in existing partners and open the door to develop current and future partnerships.”
