Uniject Nonreusable Syringe
PATH
The Uniject™ autodisable injection system is precisely filled with a single drug dose, ensuring that the correct amount of drug is delivered and that none is discarded unnecessarily. It cannot be reused, eliminating the possibility of disease transmission. And it reduces the burden on health systems by combining the vaccine, needle, and syringe into a single unit.
Countries targeted for distribution include: Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Niger, Senegal, and Uganda, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Indonesia. Regions without highly qualified health workers are of particular focus.
The Uniject device is licensed to Becton Dickinson. BD manufactures and distributes Uniject to vaccine and pharmaceutical producers which then are given to public health programs. Hepatitis B vaccine and tetanus toxoid are available from manufacturers in India and Indonesia.
MSRP depends on type of medication in the syringe. The syringe along with 2 5-IU ampoules of oxytocin is about $1.00 USD in a hospital.
