More than two billion prefilled syringes are currently used each year on a global basis and pharmaceutical companies are making the switch to products such as Unilife's safety syringe which are compliant with needle-stick prevention laws (e.g. Federal Needlestick Prevention Act, 2000). Key differentiating features of Unilife's fully-integrated (within the barrel of the syringe) safety syringes include the following:

1.) a passive needle retraction system that is activated inside the body

2.) healthcare providers / shot administrators control the speed of needle retraction

3.) auto-disabling prevents re-use or tampering with used syringes.
