Infection Control Company Inviro Medical Devices' InviroSNAP!® Safety Insulin Syringes Put Safety First for DiabeticsInnovative Low-Dose Insulin Syringes Decrease the Risk of Needlestick Injuries; Reduce Medical WasteATLANTA – December 4, 2007 – Infection control company Inviro Medical Devices (www.inviromedical.com) announced a new and improved product offering this week, InviroSNAP!® low-dose safety insulin syringes. InviroSNAP! low-dose insulin syringes are designed to help prevent needlestick injuries due to their unique safety mechanism – while their low dead space results in less medication waste. Inviro Medical Devices' insulin syringes utilize the infection control company's patented InviroSNAP!! technology. Upon completion of the insulin injection, the user easily renders the syringe safe by pulling the plunger back until it stops, at which point the needle is safely encased in the barrel. Then, the clinician simply snaps off the plunger to permanently disable the syringe. The user can then dispose of the product without worrying about accidentally being stuck by the needle or causing injury to others. Inviro's diabetic syringes have permanently attached needles and are intended for one-time use. "The InviroSNAP! insulin syringe gives diabetic patients the peace of mind that they have control over their own safety," says Gareth Clarke, chief executive officer of Inviro Medical Devices. "Needlestick injuries are not limited to healthcare workers alone. Diabetic patients who self-administer shots can benefit from the InviroSNAP! technology used in our infection control products as well." Inviro Medical Devices' low-dose insulin syringes are available in 50 and 100 unit sizes, with half-inch needles in 28 and 29 gauge configurations, and they can be used to withdraw insulin from the vial, as well as for injection of insulin. The low-dose insulin syringes have advantages over other syringes because they have no sheath, shield or cap to obstruct markings or the injection site. They also incorporate bold, easy-to-read text, which is of particular importance to patients with poor vision, a challenge often experienced by diabetics.
