Prefilled Safety Devices Market - Size, Share, Outlook,
and Opportunity Analysis, 2018 - 2026
Prefilled safety devices refer to the development of technology in the conventional form of
syringes, wherein the needles are developed with safety mechanism to prevent needle stick or
any other needle-associated injuries. These needles are designed and manufactured in such a
way that it does not harm the recipient as well as prevents the exposure of health-workers
towards susceptible risks and harmful infections. These syringes have needles that can be
retracted after use, which enables safe disposal of needles and prevents misuse of the used
syringes. Moreover, syringes with protective shields are also available.
The prefilled safety devices are found extensively in practice these days among large number of
hospitals and clinics across the globe. These devices were developed to reduce the number of
needle-stick injuries and possibility of spreading of infections due to these injuries. Infections
spreading through the use of unsafe needles and syringes are harmful and can be avoided
through proper guidance to the healthcare workers about avoiding reuse of syringes.

Prefilled Safety Devices Market Dynamics
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016, worldwide, around 16 billion
injections are given annually, out of which around 90% of the injections are given in curative
conditions. The unsafe usage of syringes is observed worldwide, especially in emerging
economies, which leads to infection amongst healthcare professionals and patients. Unsafe
syringe usage can cause hemorrhagic fevers such as Marburg and Ebola viruses, malaria, and
others. Increasing awareness about use of prefilled safety devices is expected to boost the global
prefilled safety devices market growth over the forecast period.
