The Medigard Manual Retractable Syringe

Medigard has also designed a safety Manual Retractable Syringe. At the end of the injection stage, the plunger connects with the Luer and pulls the needle back inside the barrel of the syringe. The plunger can then be snapped off while the Luer and needle are firmly locked inside the barrel. The safe device can then be easily disposed of.

The 3mL manual retractable syringe is suitable for the US market, but is designed with much wider market appeal. Its features and cheaper price are expected to have large market acceptance in developing countries such as China and India, regions of Africa, and in nations where specific needlestick injury prevention legislation has not yet been enacted.
