Employing a less preferred site may have unwanted medication absorption and/or comfort issues for the client. Given these concerns it is interesting to note that many of the suggestions made about the best way t
The ½’’ needle length is used for subcutaneous injecting e.g., for drugs like Heparins or most Biologics and the ⅝” needle length is used for intramuscular injection, e.g., for vaccines. Within the last two years, there is a significant need for ⅝”...
In the world of subcutaneous and intramuscular injectable drug delivery, injection devices such as autoinjectors and wearable pumps are receiving a lot of attention. However, the importance of the Pre-Filled Syringe, both as a standalone device and as a sub-system within othe...
injection into the subcutaneous region, which may result in an insufficient immune response, especially where the substance to be delivered intradermally has not been indicated for subcutaneous injection. Also, the needle cannula may penetrate the skin at too shallow a depth to deliver the substance...
Outpatient subcutaneous injection therapy : drug use problems with low-molecular-weight heparins and impact of pharmaceutical care The observer's results confirmed these findings, as did the mechanical cap-pull-off tests: they showed a large range of median forces (13.6鈹 29.9 Newtons), with the...
Viscous formulations containing polymers, for example, are employed for the controlled release of drugs after Intra-venous (IV) subcutaneous (SC), intra-dermal (ID) or intra-muscular (IM) injection. These formulations are notoriously difficult to inject, requiring a large force to be delivered by...
To assess the resorption of heparin, needle injection was compared with needle-free injection in a perfused limb model. Results聽 Increasing amounts of ink increasingly penetrated into subcutaneous tissue layers in a cone-shaped manner mainly following lead structures. Penetration was hampered by ...
Subcutaneous injections are used for many reasons,including immunizations, administration of medications such as insulin andheparin, and to provide local anesthesia, both for surgery and for intravenouscannulation.Various approaches are employed to alleviate the pain causedby intravenous cannulation.
