We have recently introduced evacuated Blood Collection Tubes to ensure safe collection of Blood and for enabling accurate and reliable automated testing - this is the future for diagnosis for preventive healthcare
HMD is now one of the Top 5 syringe producers in the world and gained respect and credibility with various public healthcare institutes in Africa and also private healthcare institutions in USA and Europe.
What is the difference between a two piece & three piece Syringe?
Sterilization of a Syringe in a Ribbon packing is done by passing Ethylene Oxide gas through perforations in the plastic film through the paper ribbon in the packing
The serrations of the film allows E.O. gas to go through the controlled porosity paper ribbon to permit sterilisation.
Plastic film covers the paper ribbon for protection and improving puncture resistance.
Differentiate between Luer Mount & Luer Lock Syringes?
Luer Mount (LM) Syringes are Syringes which permit needle fixation on to Push fit slip tip attachment, while Luer Lock (LL) Syringes are Syringes which permit more secure fixation with Screw on Locking Collar on a Luer Tip. Luer Tip indicates a 6% Taper and is the universally accepted standard for fitment of connectors medical application for ensuring minimal chances of leakages.

How is Ribbon packaging better than blister packing?
The plastic lamination of Ribbon packaging has higher puncture & tear resistance than the paper lidding of a blister pack – the sterility assurance factor is therefore relatively superior. Additionally the package doesnot get dusty/dirty/wet in poor handling & transportation, prevalent in underdeveloped / developing nations.
Difference between 1 ml Insulin & Tuberculin Syringe.
1 ml, Insulin Syringe are of two types – U 40 & U-100 Insulin Syringes. Iin U-40 Insulin Syringes markings on the barrel are 5, 10, 15,.............. 40 Units, while in U-100 markings are 10, 20, 30,......................100 Units.
While in case of 1 ml Tuberculin Syringes the markings are in 0.1ml, 0.2ml, 0.3ml,........................ 1 ml.
The above mentioned different markings are based on medication dosage prescribed to the patient.
Gasket is made of natural rubber which has been validated as per ISO: 7886/IS10258 standard for compatibility for wide range of solvents used in medication.
What is the difference between Catheter and Cannula?
Cannula is a short flexible tube which is introduced into a blood vessel, while Catheter is defined as a tube which is substantially longer than Intra Vascular Cannula for peripheral access to body.
Differentiate between cannula & Introducer Needle?
Cannula is Tubing (eg. Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene ) which remains inside the body, while Introducer Needle is Stainless Steel needle used for inserting the Catheter / Cannula.
2 way I.V.Cannula has integrated side port through which second line of medication is possible, while in 1 way I.V.Cannula only one port is present for drug delivery.
Difference between Teflon, PTFE & FEP Cannula / Catheter tubing.
Teflon â is the brand name of Dupont for its range of Fluro Polymers – PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene) & FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene). PTFE is relatively superior to FEP in having a lower coefficient of friction which is an important factor to minimise trauma to the blood vessel/Tissue for enabling smooth cannulation. FEP is easier to process and form thinner tips of catheter then PTFE , so where you use a little on friction you gain a lot on initial penetration force.
How is Volex Catheter superior than Teflon Catheter ?
Volex catheter is superior then Telflon Catheters which have the inherent limitation of Peel Back on attempts of reinsertion or damage to the tip, leading to reduced indwelling period.
Volex Catheters have below mentioned advantages over Teflon Catheter :-
Ease of insertion without peelback - making second & third reinsertions possible without having to throw away I. V. Cannulas on unsuccessful cannulation.
Extended indwelling period - leading to fewer I. V. Cannulas being consumed.
Fewer Complications - Minimum risk of thrombus generation while reducing medication costs.
Pain Advantage
Minimal trauma - as the penetration force required is only 30% that of PTFE Catheters.
Normally, I.V.Cannula can stay in the body from 24 to 48 hours after insertion, Instances of 48 – 96 hours has also been reported of Cannulation without Thrombophlebitis.
Delivery schedule is usually of 4-6 weeks after receipt of confirmed order for FCL Orders. Specific delivery can be commenced only on receipt of quantity wise query.
On receipt of requirement details, quantity wise/size wise and destination port and mode of transportation, we will send our quotation and prices to you.
Which of the following can be used to clean the injection site?
