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:
