Hindustan Syringes Launches Dispojekt To Reduce Needle
Stick Injuries
Company aims to capture 60-70% of disposable syringes market
in India.
The Company Is Aiming To Initially Produce 200 Million
Syringes And Needles Per Annum, For Which We Have Invested Approximately Rs 70
Crore In The First Phase.
Hindustan Syringes and Medical Devices (HMD), one of the
leading manufacturers of disposable and auto-disable syringes, on Thursday
announced the launch of Dispojekt, an indigenous single-use safety syringe to
reduce instances of needle stick injuries.
A needle stick injury (NSI) is an accidental skin-penetrating
stab wound from a hollow-bore needle containing another person's blood or body
fluid.
It can lead to the transmission of blood-borne diseases like
Hepatitis B, C, and HIV among healthcare personnel.
“HDM is eyeing a 60-70 per cent market share in the next
three years in the disposable syringes segment in India, which is estimated to
be over 5 billion units per year and 5 to 6 billion needles,” the company said
in a statement.
Sohail Nath, executive director of HMD said the company is
aiming to initially produce 200 million syringes and needles per annum, for
which we have invested approximately Rs 70 crore in the first phase.
