Abstract:

Purpose: During 2016 and 2017, numerous retina specialists reported silicone oil droplets after intravitreal injection, primarily associated with insulin syringes with a fixed needle. By contrast, adverse events were relatively rare for tuberculin syringes. We hypothesized that fixed-needle syringe injections have more silicone droplets due to the lack of dead space at the syringe–needle junction. Methods: Fluid from Becton Dickenson (BD) insulin syringes, BD tuberculin syringes, Henke Sass Wolf (HSW) insulin syringes, and HSW silicone-free syringes was examined microscopically for silicone oi

Background: This research delves into the comprehensive evaluation of AD 0.5 ml syringes, crucial components in medical procedures. These syringes fall into the category of class IIa according to EUMDR and are classified as class II by USFDA. The focus is on assessing their compliance with regulatory standards such as the European Medical Device Regulation (EUMDR), International Organization for Standardization (ISO 13485), US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), and guidelines from the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP). The study particularly scrutinizes the design, manufacturing,

Syringes are one of the pharmaceutical preparations that are in high demand. In healthcare institutions, syringes are used to aid in patient care and examination. Pharmaceutical preparations, such as various syringes, are widely available in the Pasar Pramuka. Syringes must be free from microbes and used syringes should not be reused. Microbiological sterility tests can be performed on a syringe to determine whether it is sterile or not. The purpose of the study is to test the sterility of syringes obtained from the Pasar Pramuka.

Abstract:

Effective January 1, 2001, New York State enacted the Expanded Syringe Access Demonstration Program (ESAP), allowing syringes to be sold in pharmacies without a prescription or dispensed through doctors, hospitals, and clinics to adults. A concern in the assessment of ESAP is its effects on syringe disposal practices. Syringe use data regarding the last injection episode were combined from three projects ( N = 1,030) recruiting injection drug users. Disposal of syringes by methods known to be safe decreased significantly over time after the implementation of ESAP. Syringes obtained either from

Abstract:

The longevity of foam made using sodium tetradecyl sulphate and gas (air or a CO2:O2 mixture) is increased significantly if silicone-free syringes are used over the normal syringes containing silicone oil lubrication. However, the plungers in silicone-free syringes start sticking after several passages when making foam for sclerotherapy, preventing the smooth injection of the resulting foam. We describe a three syringe technique which allows foam to be made using the Tessari Tourbillon ‘three-way stopcock’ principle between two syringes, but with the foam ending up in a third syringe which has

Several studies have shown no difference in epidural insertion success rates when using LOR to saline or air. Other methods for epidural space identification are being considered yet limited research compares specific low-resistance syringes with standard syringes.

Abstract:

A protocol was developed to obtain mature lymphocytes from freshly harvested tonsils by a combination of 5-, 10-, and 20- cm3 syringes and 21-, 23-, and 27-gauge needles. The cells were then suspended in Earle's balanced salt solution and counted with an automated cell counter. Cell counts for each study group was compared as a function of needle and syringe size. The range of harvested cells was 900 to 2800 cells per cubic millimeter, allowing adequate cellular material for diagnostic purposes. The amount of negative pressure for each syringes/needle combination was measured with a manometer.

Abstract:

Summary:Recommended materials for breath hydrogen collection (plastic syringes with twist lock closure) are only adequate for relatively brief periods because of gradual hydrogen loss and considerable variability between duplicate samples. To document the most favorable storage conditions for breath hydrogen, we compared hydrogen retention in plastic syringes using a conventional twist‐in‐lock closure versus a simple, inexpensive syringe closure, a Critocap. Hydrogen retention was studied at 25, 5, and – 20°C in two different syringe brands over 72 h of storage. An analysis of variance confirm

Abstract:

While many sources of contamination in chemical and biological laboratories are well understood and known, some are less so. To quantify the magnitude of the potential contamination of solutions by zinc in common laboratory syringes, a study was conducted on solutions stored in rubber-containing syringes in which the rubber was catalyzed by zinc. This study identified specific factors contributing to contamination from laboratory syringes, including the syringe brand, time, solution type, and pH. Two common syringe brands, Covidien and BD, were tested, and three time durations, 0 days, 1 day,

The purpose of the article is to describe the methodology and hardware for determining the force required for the movement of the plunger rod of a single-use syringe. The measurement method is used to obtain new experimental data. We first-ever obtained the oscillograms of force variation required to move the plunger rod of test syringes and found that, compared to a two-component, three-component syringe is characterized by significantly smaller values of the effort required for the plunger rod to move. So, when it moves without using water, the F value at the beginning of the suction stage i

We assembled this platform from inexpensive disposable plastic syringes, plastic tubing, easily-obtainable servomotors, and an Arduino microcontroller chip, which allowed for system automation. The automated system can also be fabricated using stereolithography (SLA) to print elastomeric reservoirs (used instead of syringes), while platform framework, including rack and gears, can be printed with fused deposition modeling (FDM).

It is a unit dose of parenteral medication to which a needle has been fixed by a producer. They are small which make them easy to carry and are dependable for delivering a precise dose of medication. These reasons are leading to growth of parenteral medication in pharmaceutical market.
