The nevershare syringe is the world’s first syringe designed for injecting drug users! – With plungers in a range of colours to reduce accidental sharing.
The 'mixing up' of syringes when groups of people are injecting together has long been recognised as a significant cause of accidental sharing – and blood borne virus transmission.
The nevershare syringe has been manufactured exclusively for Exchange Supplies by a leading European syringe manufacturer with:
* five different plunger colours to reduce sharing;
* nevershare logo/brand on the syringe and all packaging to reinforce the most important harm reduction message;
* markings in ml (rather than insulin units); and
* 30 gauge needle to minimise vein damage.
By supplying syringes with coloured plungers you can now reduce blood-borne virus transmission more effectively by:
* reducing the risk of accidental sharing;
* reinforcing the importance of having your own equipment, and not sharing;
* making the issue of sharing explicit with every syringe; and
* promoting strategies to prevent accidental sharing.
Nevershare syringes are also available from the NHS through e-direct, see Product briefing FAQ's for details.
