Dedicated Controllers Help Manufacture Retractable Syringes
An innovative medical-device manufacturer has developed a new product that addresses the number one concern of healthcare workers – accidental “sticks” with contaminated needles. According to a recent study, over one million of these hazardous incidents are reported each year. Sixty-one percent involve the use of disposable syringes, a situation Retractable Technologies, Inc., Little Elm, Texas, hopes to remedy with its new VanishPoint™.
What makes the VanishPoint unique is that it is the first disposable syringe to feature a needle that automatically retracts after injection, greatly reducing the chance of an accidental needle stick.
