As opposed to low dead space syringes, high dead space syringes are conventional needle and syringe designs. The term "high dead space" refers to the fluid remaining within the needle and between the syringe hub and the plunger. This space can be as high as 84 micro liters in conventional syringes. [2]
A syrette is a single-use device for injecting liquid through a needle. It is similar to a syringe except that it has a sealed squeeze tube instead of a rigid tube and piston. It was developed by the pharmaceutical manufacturer E.R. Squibb & Sons (eventually merged into the current day Bristol-Myers Squibb) just prior to World War II (WWII). [1]
Jet injectors were used for mass vaccination, and as an alternative to needle syringes for diabetics to inject insulin. However, the World Health Organization no longer recommends jet injectors for vaccination due to risks of disease transmission. [1] Similar devices are used in other industries to inject grease or other fluid.

Injector pens remove some of the complications of syringes by allowing the pen to be "pushed" against the skin at a 90-degree angle (removing the need to inject at a proper angle as is the case with syringes), as well as by replacing a long, thin plunger of a syringe with a simple button which is depressed and held to inject the dose.

accelerate the syringe forward, puncturing the injection site; actuate the piston of the syringe, injecting the drug; deploy a shield to cover the needle; Some injectors are triggered by simply pushing the nose ring against the injection site. In these designs, the protective cap is the primary safety.
The company had said in August that it was investigating an unauthorized release of over a terabyte of data from one of its communication systems. Some of the data contained passport numbers, visa ...
The needle on a safety syringe can be detachable or permanently attached. On some models, a sheath is placed over the needle, whereas in others the needle retracts into the barrel. Safety needles [1] serve the same functions as safety syringes, but the protective mechanism is a part of the needle rather than the syringe. Legislation requiring ...
