With increasing awareness about occupational safety and growing concern on the prevention of needlestick injury, safety injection devices have gained increased attention from the manufacturers and healthcare professionals worldwide. The accelerated emergence of regulatory controls over the past few years have further ensured that manufacturers come up with modifications in the product design and integrated safety controls to meet the requirements.

Safety injection devices, which include safety syringes and safety needles, are designed to enhance safety of the drug administration process and eliminate needlestick injuries - a major cause of blood-borne infections. The current growth in the market for a variety of safety injection devices is primarily underpinned by the evolving needs of the patients and the requirement for better and safer syringe systems.

These devices have several advantages over traditional drug delivery systems. Most importantly, the addition of safety feature provides optimal protection to the healthcare practitioners and patients, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Specifically, in case of a retractable syringe, the needle is locked into the barrel of the syringe and the entire assembly can be safely disposed of. The cost of disposal of a safety syringe is relatively much lower compared to a conventional syringe. Despite a marginally relatively higher purchase price, these devices are known to offer long term economic advantage if the consequences of a needlestick injury and associated treatment expenses are taken into consideration.

In addition to the existing established device manufacturers, the market has seen the presence of some relatively new players. These start-ups have recently introduced some important safety devices with innovative features. The need for improvement in safety mechanisms and functionality of the devices will continue to present positive growth prospects for the market in the foreseeable future.
