Moreover, the horror of AIDS worldwide has almost dispensed with the reuse of syringes and the demand of disposable syringe has increased phenomenally. Disposable syringes are mostly injection moulded from polypropylene. Syringes are available in sizes of 1 ml, 2ml, 5 ml, and 10 ml, in a variety of designs and consist of either two or three components construction. The number and size of injection moulding machines required depend upon syringe construction, number of mould cavities, annual production.
