The function of the VanishPoint™ Syringe is to provide a safe and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient or withdrawing blood from a patient. The VanishPoint™ Syringe works like a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user. Because the contaminated needle is automatically withdrawn into the syringe barrel, the syringe user is protected from accidental needlesticks. These accidental needlesticks would occur between removing the needle from the patient and disposing of the syringe in a sharps disposable container.
