This is a medical device, is a syringe, which solves the problem of the danger of infecting patients and health care workers with diseases that can be transmitted by injecting with an already used needle.

With this new syringe model, you can apply the drug enormously quickly while protecting yourself. It is intended for a single use with only one use practically possible. The dosage is much easier because it has two measuring scales. The volume is 15ml but can be changed as needed is it can be produced in different sizes. The disinfection mechanism is in the syringe, and one of the novelties is that the needle has no contact with the healthcare worker applying the therapy.

The technology/product overview will be displayed in the poster and on the website.

TECHNOLOGY/PRODUCT FEATURES, SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVANTAGES

(Required 50 – 250 words)

Provide more description of the technology/product which addresses the following:

The novelty of this model is that it will no longer use wiping the skin with an alcohol swab and also needle fitting which is additional waste of time. This new syringe model has its own disinfectant, the dosage of therapy is easy because there are two measuring scales that allow the most accurate dosage, the time of application of the drug does not exceed one minute, it is much shorter than in today's models. The healthcare worker has no contact with the patient while injecting the medicine. It is compatible for any type of therapy (muscle, venous ...). It is practical for one use only due to the inserted block preventing reuse. It is compatible for any size of medical needles, specifically intended for rapid intervention, precise and safe. Compared to the usage of older models, where 29.2% of healthcare workers annually suffer from a variety of illnesses such as Hepatitis B, HIV etc. With this new model that percentage will be kept to a minimum and the users of this model will be guaranteed protection.
