Abstract
The different technologies available in safe injection practices can be categorised as: (1) Auto disable syringes for immunisation. (2) Prefilled devices. (3) Reuse prevention syringes for curative injections. (4) New safety devices which include safe blood draw and NSI prevention devices. Auto disable syringes are preferred over normal disposable syringes because of its safety and can be used with minimal amount of training. These syringes improved vaccination coverage rates and are being currently introduced in country EPI. Uniject prefill injection device ensures safety by various ways. There are also reuse prevention syringes for curative injections. The new safety devices have also been discussed in a nutshell.
