Why do facilities choose syringe infusion for delivering intermittent small-volume parenterals?
Syringe infusion provides a higher quality clinical outcome, using less nursing labor, for substantially lower material costs. Using syringes eliminates high proprietary drug and container costs, and allows pharmacies to buy economical bulk generic drug vials, reducing or eliminating minibag costs. Hundreds of millions of syringe infusion doses in the United States alone over the past 20 years continues to validate the clinical, operational and economic advantages of syringe infusion.
