FARMINGDALE, N.Y. - May 17, 2002 - Farmingdale-based Univec, Inc., (OTCBB:UNVC - news) today announced that its INFLU-JECT safety syringe, designed exclusively for immunizations requiring a 0.5cc dosage such as influenza and pneumonia, is now available. The product comes equipped with a 23-gauge, l-inch or 25-gauge 5/8-inch needle. The 1cc syringes are faster and easier to fill and take up less space than other immunization syringes. According to Pat Harper, RN and member of the Visiting Nurses Association, the Univec INFLU-JECT syringe  is easy to read, easy to use, and there is virtually no wasted, dead space. The Univec patented sliding sheath mechanism complies with OSHA regulations by engaging with only one hand to effectively reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks.
According to Dr. David L. Dalton, UnivecÂs President and CEO, the Univec INFLU-JECT Safety Syringe was specifically designed to facilitate delivery of flu and pneumonia vaccines. ÂWe believe it makes far more sense to deliver 0.5cc vaccine doses with a 1cc syringe rather than using larger, unnecessary sizes. The new Univec INFLU-JECT Safety Syringe provides the advantage of both practical size and compliance with OSHA needlestick safety requirements to protect patients and healthcare workers.Â
Leading health experts have documented that traditional disposable syringes are the leading cause for the spread of blood-borne pathogens such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis. Federal guidelines mandate the use of syringes equipped with a needlestick safety mechanism, including those used for vaccine programs.
