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. To see the youtube video of Professor Avril Taylor explaining this research, and showing examples of accidental sharing, CLICK HERE. (video opens in a new window)
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);
- 30 gauge needle to minimise vein damage (needle length =12mm / ½in).
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.
We also sell a full range of separate needles and syringes with all gauges of needle from the
30 gauge 0.5 inch fine yellow needle to the
2 inch 21 gauge long green needle.
