A comprehensive and detailed report on the technology, products and companies shaping the market for retractable safety syringes, this report analyzes and evaluates existing retractable syringe products, new and emerging designs, market dynamics and technical

and business factors. New materials and innovative designs have led to improved safety syringe products and more competitive price points. Safety syringes will continue to grow at the expense of traditional syringes driven by regulatory initiatives to reduce cross-contamination of medical personnel via accidental needle-sticks. An estimated 5.6 million health-care workers routinely handle medical sharps. Information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control suggests that 600,000 to 800,000 percutaneous exposures occur each year in the U.S. Safety syringes are uniquely qualified to meet this market need. With detailed profiles of two dozen safety syringe market participants, the report has been structured to provide all of the essential information necessary to understand and evaluate this dynamic market sector and identify market opportunities for retractable safety syringe products. -0- Key Topics Covered: - Executive Summary - Injectable Drug Delivery Market Dynamics - Drug Discovery Trends - Demographic Shifts - Managed Care Initiatives - Caregiver Safety - Growth in Home Healthcare - Technology Market Drivers - Device Strategies - Safety Syringe Design Factors - Automatic vs Manual Retraction - Retraction Mechanisms - Vacuum - Mechanical - Competing Safety Syringe Designs - Sliding Sheath - Auto-disable - Manual Disable - Design Considerations - Prefilled Syringes - Lyophilized and Powder Drugs - Specialty Applications - Safety Syringe Commercialization Factors - The Economics of Disposable Syringes - Cost per Injection for Various Injection Devices - Outsource Manufacturing - Alliances and Private Labeling - Safety Syringe Manufacturer Profiles by Region - China - Malaysia - South Korea - Taiwan - Market Factors - Regulations - FDA - EMEA - Pharma & Medical Devices Agency (Japan) - Emerging Biologicals - Competing Technologies - Patient/Consumer Sentiment - Treatment Compliance - Branded Retractable Safety Syringe Products - Alpha - SafeInject (BeTeC) - BakSnap (DuoProSS) - Careo(Life-Shield Products) - FutuMeds (Fututech berhad) - HookSafe (Biotop) - Integra (Becton) - InviroSNAP!
