<p>Excess waste is a well-known known driver of inefficiency in the US health care system. Medication waste contributes to this inefficiency and has recently been described among cancer medications, but it may also be attributable to the syringes used to deliver injectable medications. Syringe dead space is the volume of residual fluid that remains within the syringe after the plunger is fully depressed during medication injection. High dead space syringes, compared with low dead space syringes, are associated with increased risk for medication waste. If costly injectable medications are administered using high dead-space syringes, syringe dead space may contribute to excess medication waste in the US health care system. We estimated differences in the cost of injectable medication waste attributable to high dead space syringes and low dead-space syringes.</p>

<p>A new study finds that high dead-space syringes, characterized by a detachable needle, are especially wasteful. Researchers determined that the median cost of wastage for self-injectable drugs delivered through high dead space syringes was $5.43 per single dose and $1,637.91 annually. By comparison, wastage from medication dispensed through low dead-space syringes was significantly less at a median $0.54 and $124.52, respectively. Replacing high dead space syringes with low dead space syringes, which have a permanently attached or integrated needle and/or a conical plunger to shrink dead space in the needle hub, is seen a one way to avoid preventable medication waste.</p>

<p>The QD Syringe is the next generation of disposable syringes which are designed for greater safety and efficiency. The patented QD Syringe with its one-piece glyflo tip is a ready to use draw syringe that reduces liabilities, hazardous waste, additional inventory and eliminates vial-caused needle dulling for sharper and less painful patient injections. The patented design of the QD Syringe includes several innovative concepts that also help make it one of the most versatile syringe products available.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The QD Hub and needle mates perfectly with the internal glyflo tip creating a low residual volume injection. The QD Syringe is compatible with existing luer lock hubs for seamless pre-slit injection receptacle injections and QD hubs are available up to 20+ needle gauge sizes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The QD Syringe opens the door for detachable QD Nano needles for less painful injections. The QD Syringe hubs with needles are designed to be used in one single insertion action allowing our engineering team at QD Syringe Systems to create the most thin walled super sharp needles possible.</p>

<p>QD Syringes are the next generation of basic disposable plastic syringes with detachable injection hubs with needles. The QD Syringe does not need a detachable draw needle to draw fluid inside of its barrel. The QD Syringe has an integrated poly-carbonate tip with GlyFlo<span class="_Tgc"><b>™</b></span> Technology to accomplish this task. The QD Syringe is a low dead space syringe and has the sharpest needles of any injection syringe available. <br/><br/>The QD Syringe works by being functional right out of it's package. It is the only syringe that is able to draw fluid into itself. Then the appropriate steel needle gauge and length is attached over it's tip and a virtually painless injection is given. <br/><br/>The painless injection is accomplished by not using the sharp steel needle to draw up medications and dulling its tip prior to giving the patient injection. The QD Syringe give iv push injections and is also compatible with a majority of pre-slit injection receptacles such as the BD Q-Syte. All of this is accomplished by the low dead space QD Syringe. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.QDSyringe.com">www.QDSyringe.com</a></p>
