Medicina manuallyretractable safetysyringesThe Medicina manually retractable syringe

has been developed to help the healthcare

sector adhere to the EU directive

(2010/32/EU) on Prevention of Sharps

Injuries. The needle is manually retracted

into the barrel after use, protecting the end

user from needle stick injuries.

The Medicina manually retractable

safety syringe is available in a range of

barrel sizes and can be used with filter or

blunt needles. These can be removed

after use and a hypodermic needle

affixed for the administration of the fluid.

Once the fluid has been administered,

the plunger is depressed until a “click” is

heard. The plunger is then pulled back,

bringing the contaminated needle back

into the barrel, until another “click” is

heard. The plunger can then be snapped

off preventing re-use of the needle.

The manually retractable syringe is

simple to use and users require

minimal training. This safety syringe

provides an alternative which requires

little change in practices currently

followed by health care workers.

For patients who need intramuscular

injections with longer needles we have

introduced a 5ml syringe which has a

longer barrel. The longer barrel will allow

a 2” needle to be disposed of safely.

An estimated

61% of needle

stick injuries

occur after

use and before

disposal1

Medicinaautomaticallyretractable safetysyringesThe Medicina automatically retractable safety

syringe provides an alternative to enable users

to adhere to the EU directive (2010/32/EU)

on the Prevention of Sharps Injuries.

The needle automatically retracts after

use and reduces the risk of needle

stick injury.

The Medicina automatically retractable

safety syringe is available in a range of

barrel and needle gauge sizes. The

syringe comes with a fixed needle and

can be used in a variety of procedures

such as intramuscular and subcutaneous

administration of fluids.

The fluid is drawn up and the injection is

then carried out. After all the fluid has

been administered, the plunger hits the

bottom of the barrel and a “click” is

heard.

The needle then automatically retracts

back into the plunger. The risk of needle

stick is therefore reduced as the

contaminated needle is no longer

accessible. The needle and syringe are

then discarded into any sharps container.

The Medicina automatically retractable

safety syringe is a safe alternative that

adheres to the EU directive on Prevention

of Sharps Injuries.

We have also introduced two specialist

Insulin syringes which have 30G 6mm

needles. These are a 1ml syringe for up

to 100 Units and a 0.5ml syringe for

smaller quantities.


Medicina Luer slipIV syringesMedicina has manufactured a complete range

of Luer slip IV syringes that can be used with

any standard, filtered or safety needle.

The overall aim is to reduce the cost to the

healthcare sector whilst improving patient safety.

The Luer slip syringe is available in a

range of barrel sizes:

• 1ml

• 3ml

• 5ml

• 10ml

• 20ml

• 30ml

• 60ml

Sizes 10ml through to and including 60ml

have an eccentric tip. This gives the end

user a clear view of the entry site and

allows the site to be entered at the

correct angle.

The flat plunger fits flush against the flat

shoulder of the barrel, eliminating dead

space to ensure accurate measurements

are delivered to the patient.

Medicina have printed the wording “IV

Syringe” onto the barrel of each size of

syringe, making the use of this product

clear, therefore avoiding any confusion

and improving patient safety.

Improving

safety whilst

cutting costs.


MedicinaLuer lockIV syringesMedicina has developed a range of Luer lock

IV syringes for use with IV extension sets,

standard or safety needles and IV cannula.

They are designed to be used on the most

common types of syringe drivers.

The clear print on the barrel of the

Medicina Luer lock IV syringe ensures

accuracy when drawing up fluid. The

syringe is clearly labelled as an IV syringe,

making it’s use clear and avoiding any

confusion.

The Luer lock syringe is available in a

range of barrel sizes:

• 1ml

• 3ml

• 5ml

• 10ml

• 20ml

• 30ml

• 60ml

The Medicina syringe also eliminates

dead space as the cone shaped plunger

fits flush against the shoulder of the

barrel of the syringe. This further ensures

that the patient receives the correct

amount of fluid.

The Medicina Luer lock syringes have

been designed to be used with the most

common brand of IV syringe drivers.

Medicina also offer a 60ml Luer lock

insulin syringe. The red print on the barrel

clearly displays that the syringe is “FOR

INSULIN ONLY”. This is aimed to

improve patient safety.


Medicina blunt filldrawing up needlesMedicina Ltd has introduced

two types of blunt fill drawing

up needles.

These needles have been designed to

help with the drawing up of fluids that

will be given to the patient intravenously,

intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

The use of a blunt fill or blunt fill needle

with filter will improve the safety of

healthcare professionals and patients by

reducing the risk of needle stick injuries.

Both types of Medicina blunt fill needles

are available via all purchasing routes at

competitive prices.

The use of

blunt fill or

filtered

needles will

improve safety

to healthcare

professionals

and patients


Medicina disposabletourniquetsThe Medicina single use, latex free, quick

release tourniquets are a simple and

safe product for any healthcare professional

to use for venepuncture or cannulation.

Simply apply the tourniquet still allowing

room for index finger and middle finger to

fit between the tourniquet and the

patient’s skin. When the procedure is

complete, the single handed release

allows pressure to be applied to the

venepuncture site as required. The

tourniquet can then be removed and

disposed of in the clinical waste

according to local procedures. There are

two sizes available, an adult size and a

smaller tourniquet with more adjustment

holes for paediatric use. A single use

tourniquet will

reduce the risk of

cross infection. As

infection can

lengthen a patient’s

stay in hospital,

using a disposable

tourniquet can have

huge cost savings
