Using a single device for flushing promotes best practice for IV line maintenance and offers these benefits compared with vial, pod or ampoule use.

Less preparation time, fewer materials, easy storage and disposal
Replace needles and ampoules with a single product
Simplify catheter maintenance procedures
Available ready-to-use

Reduce contamination risk from multiple vial withdrawals or community bags
Ensure sterility through terminal sterilisation

Eliminate flush syringe filling labour
Reduce costs for drug wastage
Simplify purchasing and inventory control

"Prefilled syringes, with their single-use, disposable format, together with the fact that they eliminate several of the procedures required prior to administering a formulation presented in a vial, are significantly quicker and more convenient. Ease of use, in addition to simply making them more convenient, means that prefilled syringes are safer." ¹
