Safety syringes – A Historical Outlook
The origin of injecting is as old as human civilization when weapons such as blowpipes and poison tipped darts were used to introduce foreign substances into the body involuntarily or voluntarily. However, the introduction of syringe type devices known as ‘clysters’ (device for giving enemas) can be regarded as the ancestor of the modern syringes. The credit for the invention of the syringes goes to many people that include Christopher Wren, Pascal and Robert Boyle with the first intravenous injection recorded during the 17th century.

The glory of inventing hollow needle to be used for subcutaneous injection goes to an Irish physician named Francis Rynd in 1844. In 1853, Charles Pravaz and Alexander Wood developed medical hypodermic syringe with the needle fine enough to pierce the skin. In 1946, Chance Brothers in England produced the first all glass syringe with an interchangeable barrel and plunger. Charles Rothauser invented the world’s first plastic, disposable hypodermic syringes in 1949.

During 1980’s the fear of being infected from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) due to so-called disposable syringes led to the development of first safety syringes with inbuilt safety mechanisms such as detachable or permanently attached needles, placing of sheath over the needle or a shield that would slide forward to prevent needle sticks etc. Auto-destruct syringes were also developed in 1990s and now retractable needles are among the latest developments in safety syringes market.
Global Safety Syringes Market Introspection
The global safety syringes market as per the Safety Syringes Market Research Report is estimated at USD 4620 million in 2016 which is predicted to reach to USD 7095 million by 2021 with a CAGR growth of 8.96%. . This growth can be attributed to the rising incidences of needle stick injuries, various government and NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) initiatives to incorporate the use of safety syringes in the legislations, growing awareness among public for safety mechanisms in syringes is propelling the growth in safety syringes market.
As per the data of World Health Organization (WHO), more than 3 million individuals die every year due to unsafe infusion practices with an expanding number of needle stick injuries, transfer of non-sterile needle and sharing. As such, the necessity of producing safety syringes on a mass scale is helping towards the growth of safety syringes market. Moreover, the governments of various countries have brought legislation in their respective countries mandating the use of safety syringes. For instance, the U.S. federal government signed the Needle Stick Safety and Prevention Act into a law in November 2000 compelling the syringe and needle manufacturers to adopt product modifications to comply with the regulatory guidelines.
