About Us


AutoSafe Reflex, Inc. is a medical device company developing proprietary single-use safety medical devices for percutaneous drug administration, and for blood and blood sampling.

Our flagship product is a single safety solution that fits any needle or syringe configuration in current clinical use.

AutoSafe Advantage™ devices automatically encase a potentially contaminated needlepoint immediately upon withdrawal from the skin, thereby addressing the largest area of unmet need: in-use safety.

The company's objective is to become the clinical standard, offering a safety needle/syringe combination device that optimizes clinician and patient safety.

The company plans to produce and market the AutoSafe Advantage™ products for use with all types of hollow bore needle devices in clinical use today, and to license or supply our needle encasement technology to leading manufacturers and marketers of specialty single-use medical devices, including drug companies selling pre-filled drug delivery devices.

The AutoSafe Advantage™ product line offers healthcare delivery organizations significant benefits over current safety needle devices, including a single safety solution that fits any needle/syringe configuration in current clinical use, thereby reducing:

  • The need for stocking multiple products for drug administration and blood sampling
  • The cost of end user logistics
  • Economical cost in use:

    • an operating profile that simplifies clinical use of the safety device;
    • quality assurance in needlestick injury prevention programs; and
    • reduced volume and cost of medical waste disposal
Ricardo Steyn is the inventor of the AutoSafe Advantage Safety needle device, and holds several patents in the medical field which include the AutoSafe safety needle, and safety vacutainer holders. In 2004, Mr. Steyn's safety needle inventions received a top design award from the South African Bureau of Standards.
