startup series
decided to dissect the syringe
into two parts and incorporate
the costly retraction mechanism
in a frequently reusable injector,
whereas the dose-wise medicine
could be packed between a piston
head and retractable needle in a
container to be known as drug-
cartridge.
Despite being this a brilliant
idea, they had to address several
intriguing delicacies i.e. how
medicine be packed between the
piston head and retractable needle
in such a manner that the metallic
needle is not in close contact of
medicine; how will the needle
come out of the drug-cartridge and
expose to accomplish the injection
procedure; how will it be retracted
after the completion of injection
procedure with the help of the
retraction mechanism which is
embodied in a separate reusable
injector. Simultaneously, they also
worked on to design a fluid collector
operable on the same injector.
Final shaping up of the
technology
The consistent endeavors of the
team for more than two years
ultimately paid to overcome all such
hurdles and all practical difficulties,

and finally they could accomplish
the task successfully. The decade
long consistent endeavors have
resulted in five International
Patent Applications of different
technological designs of retractable
syringes in 2012.
During 2014, they founded
the Rescitech Vision Pvt Ltd, a
technology and design company
with a focus on sustainable
innovations. The later part of
the product development was
undertaken under the company’s
umbrella. Ultimately, in 2015,
they succeeded in developing
greener, safer, cheapest and
ergonomic ‘Futuristic Safe Injection
System-2020’ to get rid of the
dreadful menace of unsafe syringes,
wherein no syringe is required to
inject the medicine in patient’s
body and the medicine may directly
be transferred from manufacturing
unit to the patient body avoiding
all the risks or possibilities of
contamination and over-dosage/
under-dosage of drugs. The team
embodied all of their efforts in
the sixth Patent Application filed
in India on 10th March, 2015
followed by International Patent
Application dated 26th Feb, 2016,
which has been published by World
Intellectual Property Organization
