Penthrox safe for hospital staff, page-3

Research confirming Penthrox is safe for staff within surgeries is an important step to expanding the use of the product. Most/all of the recent EU approvals are for Penthrox to be used for pain relief for trauma, not for acute pain due to surgery. MVP need new permits to enable Penthrox to be used for surgery procedures and they will only get them when they have proven it is safe for medical staff inhaling the fumes from patient use.

Methoxyflurane has been banned for years in many countries, overcoming those concerns and proving Penthrox inhalers are safe for medical staff is a barrier that must be overcome. Proving it is safe for medical staff is important because as stated in annual report "... we believe the market for Surgical Procedures is bigger than the global opportunity for Penthrox® in Trauma Pain, our traditional market."
