Safety injection devices have several advantages over traditional drug delivery systems. Most importantly, the addition of safety feature provides optimal protection to the healthcare employees and patients, reducing the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries. In addition, the use of safety syringes facilitates the ease of disposal. In case of a retractable syringe, the needle is locked into the barrel of the syringe and the entire assembly can be safely disposed of. The indispensable need for safety and the huge competition is driving more innovation and technological advancements in the design of these products. This, in turn, is likely to create immense opportunities for the manufacturers in the foreseeable future.

LONG-TERM COST ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF SAFETY DEVICES:

In comparison to traditional syringes, safety syringes might seem expensive; but if long-term consequences of a needle-stick injury are considered, the safety devices are found to present cost advantages as compared to the conventional injection products. According to the CDC, the expenses involved in the treatment of the healthcare practitioners who sustain a needle-stick injury can range from USD 500 to USD 3,000.1 This results in a huge cost burden for the entire medical community and can be easily avoided by the use of appropriate safety devices.

It is important to mention that the use of safety syringes and needles eliminates the need to recap the needles which help reduce the needle-stick injuries to a great extent; recapping the needles are reported to account for 25 – 30% of the needle-stick injuries.
