Some Interesting Facts About Needleless Syringes

Syringe is a medical instrument used for administering medicines and other pharmaceutical compounds to cure human beings and animals.
The concept behind the invention of the Needleless syringe is the correct and safe injection of active particles in powder form for therapeutical purposes.
These devices are designed to ensure safe penetration through the skin of the complete dose of liquid active particle; there is no loss of liquid.
Right amount of pressure is applied to penetrate the skin and inject the liquid in the right dose.
The other main reason that found popularity for the use of needleless syringe is that it is safe to use and eliminates accidental injuries arising due to them.
There can be injuries and resulting health hazards faced by the health care workers in the form of occupational exposure to potentially infectious materials and toxic agents used in the medicines.
Needlestick injuries can be prevented by using medical instruments that have safety features or that altogether eliminate the use of needles.
For instance use of self re-sheathing needles, needleless IV connectors and blunted surgical needles can rule out chances of needlestick injuries.
Liquid or gaseous pressure is used to penetrate the skin and tissue and another pressure is used to deliver the medicine into the body.
The spread of Hepatitis, HIV and other infectious viruses through used and unsterilized medical instruments has acted as a catalyst for advent of needleless syringes.
The awareness of the health hazards resulting from exposure to hazardous drugs through contamination caused by these and other drug delivery apparatus provoked thought about inventing a safe device to control these hazards.
Many companies are coming up with newer models that provide safe, smooth and leak proof injection of medicinal substance into the body.
It is expected that these closed system transfer devices can go a long way in providing a safe and hazard-free medical environment.
