The reuse of syringes has become a global problem that kills over 1.3 million each year. Infection rates spread rapidly in developing countries without proper access to health care. This happens in hospitals, on the streets, and behind closed doors. A simple solution: a low cost syringe that cannot be used twice. Bravo Marc Koska! The K1 syringe is a disposable non-reusable solution in reducing blood borne infections. With the force of NGO SafePoint they are currently targeting India, followed by Africa. ~$1.50 purchases 31 safe syringes = safe injections.
