MedSafety Solutions

What MedSafety Solutions does

MedSafety Solutions is a privately held medical device company headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, that designs and manufactures IV preparation and oral medication administration accessories for hospital and retail pharmacy settings. Founded in 2016 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company holds ISO 13485 certification and FDA registration for its product portfolio, which addresses dosing accuracy, secure IV access, and contamination prevention in pharmacy compounding workflows. The company serves pharmacy professionals as its primary end users, with decades of cumulative product market presence across its core devices.

The company's core product line consists of KwikDose Oral Dispensers, Female Luer Lock Caps, and Tamper-Resistant Add Port Caps. These are disposable hardware accessories used during IV admixture preparation and oral dose measurement, where sterility maintenance and dosing precision are regulatory and clinical priorities. The KwikDose brand was refreshed in 2024 as part of ongoing portfolio management. Manufacturing appears to be in-house or contract-manufactured under the company's quality system, with product qualification tied to FDA device regulations.

MedSafety Solutions generates revenue through direct hardware sales and distribution agreements with major North American healthcare wholesalers, specifically McKesson, Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen, and Baxter. A direct e-commerce storefront supplements the distributor channel for smaller and independent pharmacy buyers. The go-to-market combines catalog-style procurement through wholesaler relationships — leveraging approximately fifty years of cumulative product brand presence — with a direct online channel that targets long-tail pharmacy customers outside the major distributor networks.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• McKesson:
• Cardinal Health: A core distribution partner that also manufactures medical products through Medical Solutions; serves the same hospital pharmacy customers via the same channel partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• Becton Dickinson (BD): BD produces a broad portfolio of injection, infusion, and pharmacy preparation devices, including Luer caps and oral syringes, competing with MedSafety across multiple SKUs at scale.
• Terumo Medical: Terumo (including Terumo BCT, where co-founder Richard Downing interned) makes syringes, needles, and IV components serving hospital pharmacies — adjacent product category with shared customer base.
• Fresenius Kabi: Fresenius Kabi makes injectable drugs, infusion solutions, and disposable medical devices for IV therapy, competing with MedSafety in pharmacy compounding supplies.
• B. Braun Medical: B. Braun manufactures IV administration sets, syringes, and pharmacy compounding supplies, overlapping with MedSafety's IV preparation and oral administration product categories.

Direct peers

• Baxter International: Baxter is both a major IV solutions/containers manufacturer and a distribution partner for MedSafety's Tamper-Resistant Add Port Caps. Its acquisition of the legacy Baxa oral dispenser business makes it the closest competitive and channel reference point.
• West Pharmaceutical Services: West specializes in elastomeric components, seals, and packaging for injectable drug delivery, comparable to MedSafety's Luer caps and tamper-resistant add-port caps in healthcare packaging components.
• ICU Medical: ICU Medical (including Smiths Medical) manufactures IV therapy components, syringes, and connectors used in hospital pharmacy and bedside applications — overlapping directly with MedSafety's Luer caps and IV prep accessories.

Emerging players

• Aptar Pharma: Aptar makes drug delivery and dispensing components including oral syringe/dispenser systems, directly comparable to MedSafety's KwikDose oral dispensers.
