Subcutaneous injection is a common route of administration. Traditionally, the injections dose doesn’t exceed 2ml that can be done with a 2ml syringe,within 2 minutes. However, in recent years, the subcutaneous formulation of antitumor drugs has gradually increased, which brings new challenges to nursing..Some subcutaneous drugs delivery requires larger doses and longer injection times, which can lead to fatigue for nursing staff and discomfort for patients during these extended procedures with traditional syringes.Moreover, the absence of safety features increases the risk of needlestick injuries.
To combat these challenges, Ms. You's team has introduced the "Safety Subcutaneous Injection Kit." This innovative kit includes a specialized subcutaneous injection needle with a safety protection device, along with an extension tube connecting the needle to the syringe. This design enhances usability for nurses and significantly reduces the risk of needlestick injuries. The kit further includes cotton swabs for disinfection, an infusion patch, a sterile gloves pair, and a medical waste bag, streamlining nursing operations.
