V-OVS® next wins Red Dot Award for enhanced safety and ease of use

V-OVS® next closure system from Vetter with Red Dot Winner 2026 award

Our new syringe closure system, V-OVS® next, has been honored with the renowned Red Dot Award in the “Design Concept” category. This international accolade recognizes innovative products that combine safety, intuitive handling, and a high-quality design.

V-OVS® next takes our syringe closure portfolio to the next level. Drawing on more than two decades of market experience, the new system is designed to enhance usability and meet the evolving needs of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Safety and ease of use are at the heart of the design. A robust locking mechanism provides a secure connection between the syringe and the closure, reducing the risk of accidental rotation. A tamper-evident seal breaks irreversibly on first opening, further enhancing product safety and integrity. 

Better user handling was another key focus. Ergonomically designed grip elements naturally guide users to the correct hand position. Integrated arrows make the closure easier to open. The premium design also allows pharmaceutical companies to give their products a distinctive look.

We are delighted that V-OVS® next has received the Red Dot Award. This recognition highlights our ability to successfully combine technological innovation with user needs. Our goal was to develop a closure system that enhances functionality and patient safety while also being intuitive and delivering real value.
