Frontier Exchange products are a response to the growing need for needle exchange and harm reduction packs, and are manufactured to the same high standards as the other products in the Sharpsafe range.

Frontier’s research has indicated an increase in the number of needle exchange and harm reduction schemes in the UK. In response to this, we have developed the packaging side of the business to meet the subsequent growing requirement for needle exchange packs. As this trend continues to grow Frontier are constantly developing new products and upgrading existing products to more closely meet the needs of needle exchange and harm reduction schemes and to ensure that suitable products are available to such schemes.

The Exchange range originally consisted of the 0.45 litre container, but has now been extended to include containers from the 0.3 litre upwards together with a 30 litre container which can be used to dispose of returned used Exchange containers.

The development of pack contents has also evolved rapidly with packs available either ‘off-the-shelf’ or custom-made to specific order requirements. Due to our relationships with suppliers and economies made by purchasing large volumes of stock we are able to offer a wide choice of components from most manufacturers. Packs now typically contain needles, syringes, alco-wipes, condoms, lubricating jelly and sterilised citric acid, together with a Sharpsafe container, in any combination or quantity that the customer may require.

The Exchange name was chosen to highlight the suitability of the products specifically for the needle exchange market. Consequently, the needle exchange packing business is now seen as an important and integral specialist business unit of Frontier Medical Products.
