Quick facts on Safety SyringesThe syringes have a non-

detachable needle design;

The syringes are rendered non-reusable

once the retraction mechanism has been

activated.

The needle automatically retracts from the patient into the empty syringe barrel after medication

has been administered;

They eliminates the re-use of contaminated

syringes/needles, prevents accidental exposure to contaminated needles

The safety mechanism is activated while the needle is still in the

patient, which virtually eliminates exposure to a contaminated

needle;

All the Departments of Health in all nine provinces

of South Africa are using safety syringes, to an extent.

The customs duty as a percentage of the selling

price is about 9%.
