2 way I.V.Cannula has integrated side port through which second line of medication is possible, while in 1 way I.V.Cannula only one port is present for drug delivery.
Teflon a is the brand name of Dupont for its range of Fluro Polymers – PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene) & FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene). PTFE is relatively superior to FEP in having a lower coefficient of friction which is an important factor to minimise trauma to the blood vessel/Tissue for enabling smooth cannulation. FEP is easier to process and form thinner tips of catheter then PTFE , so where you use a little on friction you gain a lot on initial penetration force
Cannula is Tubing (eg. Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene ) which remains inside the body, while Introducer Needle is Stainless Steel needle used for inserting the Catheter / Cannula.
Luer Mount (LM) Syringes are Syringes which permit needle fixation on to Push fit slip tip attachment, while Luer Lock (LL) Syringes are Syringes which permit more secure fixation with Screw on Locking Collar on a Luer Tip. Luer Tip indicates a 6% Taper and is the universally accepted standard for fitment of connectors medical application for ensuring minimal chances of leakages.

After removing the needle from the patient, you must activate the safety mechanism by pushing the lever arm forward until the needle tip is completely covered and press the cover against a hard surface until you hear a click sound. It can be activated using one hand.
A safety needle comes with a built-in safety mechanism. Once the fluid or medication is injected into a patient’s body, users need to close the needle cover and activate the locking mechanism by pressing the cover cap on to a hard surface. This will protect the users from accidental needle stick injuries and also prevent the reuse of needles.
The plastic lamination of Ribbon packaging has higher puncture & tear resistance than the paper lidding of a blister pack – the sterility assurance factor is therefore relatively superior. Additionally the package doesnot get dusty/dirty/wet in poor handling & transportation, prevalent in underdeveloped / developing nations
Volex catheter is superior then Telflon Catheters which have the inherent limitation of Peel Back on attempts of reinsertion or damage to the tip, leading to reduced indwelling period.
Volex Catheters have below mentioned advantages over Teflon Catheter :-
- Ease of insertion without peelback – making second & third reinsertions possible without having to throw away I. V. Cannulas on unsuccessful cannulation.
- Extended indwelling period – leading to fewer I. V. Cannulas being consumed.
- Fewer Complications – Minimum risk of thrombus generation while reducing medication costs.
Pain Advantage
- Minimal trauma – as the penetration force required is only 30% that of PTFE Catheters.
- Minimal initimal irritation & risk of phlebitis
Normally, I.V.Cannula can stay in the body from 24 to 48 hours after insertion, Instances of 48 – 96 hours has also been reported of Cannulation without Thrombophlebitis
IV flushing should be performed:
- Once every 8 hours
- Before and after administering medication through an IV line
- After blood sampling
- In between drugs to prevent mixing of incompatible medications
Local waste collectors should be consulted to see what the proper method of disposal is for unused, expired blood collection products.
Sterilization of a Syringe in a Ribbon packing is done by passing Ethylene Oxide gas through perforations in the plastic film through the paper ribbon in the packing
| The serrations of the film allows E.O. gas to go through the controlled porosity paper ribbon to permit sterilisation. |  |
| Plastic film covers the paper ribbon for protection and improving puncture resistance |

As AD Syringe is primary targeted for public healthcare consumption initially, the growth is dependent upon Government policies. If the Government is smart and willing to invest for the long term benefit in preventive healthcare to reduce noscomial infections they will see the benefits of this technology. Radial tyres are more expensive than Nylon Tyres. They however last much longer so smart consumer buy them as they are more cost effective.
if Government wants to reduce the ALS (Average Length of Stay) of patients in hospitals and save money – AD Syringes is good starting point to bring about change as SPI (Safer Patient Initiative)
Auto Disable syringe is a syringe that cannot be reused. It incorporates a mechanism to automatically break or lock the plunger as the injection is being given to make the syringe inoperable for possibly being used for a second time
A three piece syringe consist of three parts namely – plunger, barrel & gasket, while a two piece syringe consist of only plunger and barrel.
Cannula is a short flexible tube which is introduced into a blood vessel, while Catheter is defined as a tube which is substantially longer than Intra Vascular Cannula for peripheral access to body.
Gasket is made of natural rubber which has been validated as per ISO: 7886/IS10258 standard for compatibility for wide range of solvents used in medication
Intravenous injection implies that the needle is directly injected into the bloodstream of a patient. Selecting the proper size of a needle is necessary to ensure that the fluids that are administered reach the desired site for optimal response. For intravenous injections, 20-, 22- or 24-gauge needles are used.
A safety needle protects patients and healthcare workers from needlestick injuries and further prevents the spread of blood-borne diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV.
