Disposable hypodermic needles' invention not only improved medical safety but also contributed to the development of mass vaccination programs worldwide. The first practical disposable hypodermic needle was created by Colin Murdoch in 1956.
Before disposable needles, hypodermic needles were made of metal, sterilized, and reused. This process was labor-intensive and posed risks of contamination if sterilization wasn't done properly. The advent of disposable hypodermic needles allowed for safer, quicker, and more widespread medical procedures, including vaccination campaigns that have saved millions of lives globally.
Selia-Tek's disposable hypodermic needles are designed with color-coded hubs made from medical-grade polypropylene, allowing for easy identification of needle gauges.
Additionally, the needles are fully coated with medical-grade silicone, ensuring smoother injections and reducing patient discomfort.
