Generation IV: Why Smart Syringe?
The successful inventor of "Mahurkar Catheters", the dual-lumen catheters
that simplified the hemodialysis treatment, introduces "The Smart Safety
Syringe".
- Fail safe.
- Single hand-operated.
- Passive spring-aided retraction of needle, by back-end activation.
- Action is under voluntary control with option of full automatic retraction.
- Retracted needle and needle holder is securely locked inside the central
channel of plunger.
- The needle holder is locked to the plunger as well as to the barrel.
- After use the entire syringe is interlocked, immobile and inoperable.
- It is not possible to re-use and must be disposed of in recyclable
waste.
- Not disabled by aberrations of hydraulic pressure.

generations of syringes.
Advantages
Smart Syringes protect healthcare workers from deadly infections caused
by accedental needlesticks while containing all the operative conveniences
desired by physicians and nurses.
Unlike other devices, the robust
design of Smart Syringe is not susceptible to initial premature disablement,
nor will it, be discharged by increased hydraulic pressure in the barrel
for whatever reason.
Developed to comply with:
- International Standard ISO 7886-1:1993 (E) Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use Part 1. Syringes for manual
use.
