Product Options for Supply Disruptions

Hypodermic Needle & Syringe

There is a shortage of VanishPoint syringes, and it is possible that NHSSC will discontinue these SKUs.

Additionally, the retractable VanishPoint syringes compromise patient safety due to the lack of a filter in the needle, as the injection is drawn from a glass vial.

We have been instructed to stock up on the following alternative options:

Luer Lock Syringe:
