Abstract:
Disposable Syringes are made of
plastic material and are used in the field
of medical and veterinary science. Due
to their availability in sterilized condition,
ready to use, and cost effectiveness,
disposable syringes are fast replacing the
age-old glass syringes. 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.
