Description
The VanishPoint 1mL Safety Syringe retracts its needle directly from the patient into the barrel the moment the plunger is fully depressed, so the contaminated sharp is never exposed after the injection. Facilities stock this 1mL format for tuberculin, allergy and low-dose work where dose accuracy and a passive safety mechanism matter equally.
- Passive Retraction – The needle withdraws into the barrel on a full plunger stroke, with no extra activation step for the clinician to remember.
- Low Dead Space – The 1mL design meets the 35 microliter low dead space benchmark cited for multi-dose vial work, helping recover doses that standard syringes waste.
- Clear Scale – Unobstructed barrel calibrations support accurate small-volume dosing.
- Allergy Tray Options – Two configurations arrive in 25-count allergy trays for clinic immunization and allergy programs.
1mL Safety Syringes for Low-Dose and Allergy Work
Small-volume injections leave little room for error, and this syringe pairs a fixed needle with automated retraction so the sharp disappears before the device ever leaves the patient's skin. Activation is passive and single-handed, which keeps the clinician's hands behind the needle throughout the injection and disposal. Because the needle is attached, there are no needle changes between drawing up and administering, and the activated syringe cannot be reused.
After activation the syringe occupies far less sharps container volume than a conventional syringe with a safety shield, which stretches container capacity on busy units. Four needle configurations cover the common 1mL gauges and lengths, and two allergy tray configurations package 25 syringes per tray for organized allergy and immunization clinics. Every configuration is a single-use device sold in a full case for facility stocking.
Features and Benefits
Automated Retraction
- Pre-Removal Activation – Retraction triggers while the needle is still in the patient, cutting exposure to the contaminated sharp.
- Single-Handed Use – One hand completes the injection and the retraction, keeping the other hand clear of the needle path.
- Integrated Mechanism – The safety mechanism is built into the syringe itself rather than added as a separate shield or cap.
Dosing and Comfort
- Triple-Beveled Needle – The lubricated, triple-beveled needle is designed for patient comfort during injection.
- Concave Plunger Handle – The updated plunger handle shape supports a secure grip during draw-up and delivery.
- Fixed Needle – The attached needle removes change-out steps and the exposure risk that comes with them.

Why Choose VanishPoint 1mL Safety Syringe?
Facilities choose this syringe when small-dose accuracy and sharps safety have to come from the same device. The retraction is passive, the scale is easy to read, and the case formats cover both general 1mL work and tray-based allergy programs.
- Fewer Exposure Moments – Retraction happens before the needle leaves the patient, shrinking the window for a needlestick injury.
- More Doses per Vial – Low dead space helps teams draw the extra dose from multi-dose vials that standard syringes leave behind.
- Passive by Design – Unlike shield-based syringes that rely on a separate activation step, this mechanism fires on the normal full plunger stroke.
- Tray-Ready Formats – Allergy tray configurations keep immunization clinics stocked in organized 25-count trays.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the safety mechanism activated?
Fully depressing the plunger at the end of the injection triggers the retraction automatically. The needle pulls back into the barrel while it is still in the patient, so no separate shield or lever step is required.
Can this syringe be reused after activation?
No. Once the needle retracts, the syringe is non-reusable and should be discarded in a sharps container. The retracted needle stays enclosed through disposal.
What is the difference between the boxed syringes and the allergy trays?
The boxed configurations hold 100 syringes per box for general stocking. The allergy tray configurations package 25 syringes in a tray, a format allergy and immunization clinics use to organize scheduled injections.
Does the 1mL syringe have low dead space?
Yes. The manufacturer designs this 1mL syringe to the low dead space benchmark of 35 microliters or less cited for multi-dose vial work. That design helps recover medication that a standard syringe would leave in the hub.
What needle sizes are available in the 1mL line?
Configurations cover 25G, 27G and 30G needles in lengths from 5/16 in to 1 in. Each option on this page lists its exact gauge, length and packaging so the case matches the clinical task.
