(PharmaNewsWire.Com, March 06, 2018 ) Safety syringes have a safety mechanism built into the syringe. The needle on a safety syringe can be detachable or permanently attached. On some models, a sheath is placed over the needle or the needle retracts into the barrel following injection to protect healthcare workers and others from accidental needlestick injuries. Another option is a secondary device, such as Oak Ridge Products needle capper that allows the user, with one hand, to apply a cover over the contaminated needle. The importance of the safety syringe has increased; legislation requiring it or equivalents has been introduced in many nations since needlestick injuries and re-use prevention became the focus of governments and safety bodies.
The more effective safety syringes have reuse and needlestick prevention features. A sheath or hood slides over the needle after the injection is completed with a Needlestick Prevention Syringe, which also has a re-use prevention feature (either an auto disable mechanism or breaking plunger). Retractable syringes use either manual or spring-loaded retraction to withdraw the needle into the barrel of the syringe. Some brands of spring-loaded syringes can have a splatter effect, where blood and fluids are sprayed off the cannula from the force of the retraction. Manual retraction syringes are generally easier to depress because there is no resistance from a spring.
With the ever rising demand to protect healthcare professionals from accidental needle-stick injuries and hospital-acquired infections, there has been an upsurge in demand for safety syringes. Further, rising occurrences of needlestick injuries, government initiatives and legislations to integrate the practice of safety syringes, improved safety mechanisms for syringes and favourable reimbursement policies are supporting the growth of Safety syringes market in European countries. Presently, several countries have enforced regulations to ensure the compulsory use of safety syringes with an aim of preventing needle stick injuries and restrict needle re-use. However, accessibility to alternate drug delivery methods, expensiveness of safety syringes, ignorance in low income regions due to unawareness about healthcare and safety issues are few factors preventing the steady growth of Europe safety syringes market.
Needlestick injuries refer to percutaneous piercing wounds and are caused by tip of needles while disassembling, handling or disposing syringes and needles. Hence, the global safety syringes market is predicted to rise due to the increasing occurrence of needlestick injuries. In addition, the increasing regulations introduced by governments for the launch of safety-mechanized syringes will provide impetus to the development of the market. This is because of the growing concerns about needlestick injuries and their adverse impacts, resulting in legislations that mandate the utilization of safety syringes by health caregivers, nurses, and physicians.
Furthermore, the ongoing development in the market for injectable drugs will positively impact the development of the global safety syringes market, states a TMR analyst. On the other hand, the huge costs related with the utilization of safety syringes and the increasing penetration of other alternatives in drug delivery methods may negatively impact the growth of this market.
The continuous growth in the injectable drugs market is another major factor driving this market. This is because injectable drugs market is likely to display demand for drug delivery devices for drug administration that has been designed keeping up with safety requisites. Governmental legislations that require manufacturers to develop syringes equipped with safety mechanisms is also driving the Europe safety syringes market.
