Safety Syringes

Safety Syringes are specialized medical devices designed to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries. They are available in different sizes, 3ml, 5ml, and 10ml. These syringes feature a safety mechanism that automatically activates after injection, preventing the needle from being exposed or reused.

Safety syringes are particularly useful in high-risk settings such as hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities, where they can help protect healthcare workers from accidental needlestick injuries and reduce the risk of infection transmission.

AdvaCare Pharma's Safety Syringes are manufactured in facilities in China, India, and the USA, where we employ strict quality control measures and use only the highest quality materials. Our commitment to excellence in manufacturing is reflected in every product we produce, and our dedication to improving patient outcomes is at the heart of everything we do.

Retraction Type

Manual Plunger safety syringes are designed with a mechanism that allows the plunger to be locked in place after use, preventing further usage of the syringe. This reduces the risk of needlestick injuries and prevents the reuse of needles. The manual lock design is easy to operate, making it an ideal choice for healthcare providers.

Automatic Retraction safety syringes are equipped with needles that automatically retract into the barrel of the syringe after the injection is complete. This feature eliminates the need for healthcare workers to manually activate the safety mechanism, thus reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. The automatic retraction safety syringes also provide an additional layer of protection by minimizing the chances of needle reuse or improper disposal.

With a reputation for excellence, AdvaCare Pharma is a leading manufacturer of Safety Syringes, supplying medical distributors, hospitals, pharmacies, NGOs, and government institutions in over 65 markets worldwide.

Our AccuPoint™ brand products are manufactured in ISO and CE-certified facilities, with strict quality control measures in place to ensure that our distributors receive reliable and effective medical devices.

How should Safety Syringes be used?

How do Safety Syringes work?

The operational foundation of Safety Syringes lies in their unique design to mitigate the hazards associated with needle usage. Upon completion of the injection, the syringe activates a protective measure that effectively renders the needle unusable. For manual systems, this might require a slight modification in the usual procedure by the healthcare provider, engaging a mechanism to lock the needle within the syringe's body.

The automatic variants boast a feature where the needle retracts into the syringe barrel on its own, immediately after the injection, without necessitating any extra steps.

This ingenious design is not merely about safeguarding healthcare professionals; it extends its benefits to patients by eliminating the risk of being subjected to used needles, thereby upholding the highest standards of healthcare safety and hygiene.

What is the difference between manual and automatic retraction?

The distinction between manual and automatic retraction in Safety Syringes mirrors the balance between user involvement and automated safety. Manual retraction syringes require an action, such as pushing a button or twisting a part of the syringe, by the user after the medication has been delivered. This step activates the safety feature, either locking the needle within the device or covering it with a protective sheath.

Conversely, automatic retraction syringes are designed to eliminate the need for user intervention post-injection. The needle withdraws into the barrel automatically once the medication is fully administered, minimizing the time the needle is exposed and reducing the risk of accidental needlesticks.

Both systems are designed with the user's safety in mind, offering options to cater to different preferences and procedural requirements.

What are the available needle lengths for Safety Syringes?

Safety Syringes come with a range of needle lengths to cater to various medical requirements, ensuring that every injection can be administered with precision and care.

Shorter needles are often utilized for superficial injections, such as subcutaneous vaccinations or medications, where longer needles are reserved for deeper tissue penetrations, such as intramuscular injections, where reaching the muscle layer beneath the skin and fat is required.

This variation in needle length allows healthcare providers to tailor their approach to each patient's needs, factoring in the medication's intended effects and the patient's anatomy. It highlights the versatility of Safety Syringes in accommodating a wide array of medical scenarios, from routine vaccinations to the administration of life-saving medications.

How should Safety Syringes be stored and handled?

Proper storage and handling of Safety Syringes maintains their integrity and performance as intended. Before use, syringes should be kept in a controlled environment—cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight—to preserve the sterility and functionality of the needles.

Handling syringes with care, mindful of the safety features, keeps them in perfect condition until they are ready to be used.

Immediately place used syringes in sharps disposal containers. This practice not only protects healthcare workers from potential harm but also aids in infection control within medical facilities.

Can this type of syringe be used for all types of injections?

While Safety Syringes are versatile tools capable of administering various types of injections, their specific application should always be considered. These syringes are designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of medical needs, including but not limited to intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intravenous injections.

The choice of syringe—taking into account needle gauge, length, and syringe capacity—determines the successful delivery of medications, safeguarding both patient safety and the efficacy of the treatment.
