"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
