On International Nurse Day, Hindustan Syringes and Medical Devices (HMD) has launched Dispojekt single-use syringes with safety needles, marking a significant advancement in healthcare safety protocols. With over 27 million nurses worldwide comprising almost half of the global health workforce, the introduction of Dispojekt Syringes comes as a timely solution to mitigate the risks associated with needle stick injuries (NSIs).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an alarming 16 billion injections are administered annually in transitional and developing countries, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced safety measures. Rajiv Nath, Managing Director of HMD, emphasized the pivotal role of Dispojekt Syringes in safeguarding healthcare workers, stating, “Nurses worldwide face a significant risk of needle-stick injuries every day, posing a serious health hazard due to potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Dispojekt Syringes addresses this concern effectively, taking care of those who take care of us.”
Backed by comprehensive studies highlighting the prevalence of NSIs among healthcare workers, HMD’s Dispojekt Syringes offer a pioneering solution with features such as a one-handed activated safety mechanism and a sharp three-beveled siliconized needle, prioritizing both user-friendliness and patient comfort.
