About Us

 

Qlicksmart specialises in inventing and producing simply safer devices to improve patient safety and staff safety in healthcare settings. Qlicksmart world-first products are designed to be simple to use to make safety compliance a practical reality.

 

Healthcare settings present significant occupational health and safety challenges because practitioners instinctively put patient safety first. For example, healthcare workers in the United States alone report between 600,000 and 1 million sharps injuries per year. Many more go unreported. Historical focus on patient care alone has sometimes overlooked the reality that staff safety is an essential pre-requisite to patient safety. Qlicksmart simply safer products are an essential part of the answer.

 

Qlicksmart product research and development is founded on a fundamental understanding that effective safety solutions that:

Are simple
Make work faster and easier
Improve staff safety and patient safety.

 

Qlicksmart products deliver on that promise:
