Golden Valley Development (GVDI) has awarded a contract to a plastics design engineer, Tom Beaumont, to produce final Percuguard needle stick prevention device prototype.

Under the contract, Beaumont will prepare and develop the final computer-aided design and pre-production parts for the Percuguard finger guard needle stick prevention product.

The new Percuguard is designed to be aesthetically safe, effective to satisfy the dental and medical provider end users.

Golden Valley Development CEO Kevin Sorrels said the design changes as demonstrated in the prototype will provide the healthcare worker with protection and allow for manual dexterity and tactile sensitivity.
