A World Health Organization study shows that unsafe reuse of medical syringes are the cause of 1.3 million deaths each year. The new Star Syringes’ K1 Auto Disposable syringe is designed especially to be used only once, making reuse impossible.

A small ring that’s etched on the inside of the syringe’s barrel allows the plunger to go in one direction only, unlike standard syringes. After one injection, the barrel automatically locks and will break if forced, making the syringe useless.

UNICEF, WHO and ISO approved, this innovative syringe – which won the International Trade UK national award for Innovation – will ensure greater safety for healthcare workers and patients around the world.
