FASS SYRINGE

Developed by an ER nurse after witnessing the dangers of needlestick injuries firsthand, FASS is designed to improve safety and efficiency in high-pressure environments like the ER and psychiatric units, where patients can be agitated. In these settings, medications often require needle switching—one to withdraw from a vial and another to inject—due to their thickness or the need for mixing. Traditional manual switching wastes time and increases the risk of needlestick injuries, which still occur in 1 out of every 6,000 injections, often from uncapped needles in chaotic environments. FASS solves this by allowing a simple twist of the barrel to switch between needles, much like a color pen. It also features a safety mechanism that hides the needle after use and reduces plastic waste, offering a safer, faster, and more sustainable solution in acute care settings.
