Description
The VanishPoint 5mL Safety Syringe covers larger-volume injections and reconstitution work with the same passive retraction as the rest of the line. When the plunger bottoms out, the needle retracts into the barrel before withdrawal, so the used sharp is never carried exposed to the sharps container.
- Eight Configurations – Gauges from 20G to 27G cover the 5mL tasks from reconstitution to intramuscular delivery.
- Passive Retraction – A full plunger stroke retracts the needle while it is still in the patient.
- Fixed Needle – The attached needle keeps draw-up and administration on one device.
- Compact Disposal – Retracted syringes pack down in sharps containers, extending container life.
5mL Safety Syringes for Larger-Volume Doses
The 5mL barrel handles the doses that outgrow a 3mL syringe, including larger intramuscular injections and medication preparation. This version keeps that capacity and adds automated retraction, so finishing the injection also makes the device safe. The needle pulls into the barrel before it leaves the patient, and the clinician's hands stay behind the sharp for the whole sequence.
Eight configurations pair the barrel with needles from 20G x 1 in to 27G x 1 1/2 in, letting pharmacy and nursing standardize preparation and administration on one platform. Because the needle cannot be removed or reused after activation, the syringe also supports single-dose discipline. Cases hold 600 syringes in six boxes of 100.
Features and Benefits
Automated Retraction
- Fires on the Final Stroke – Full depression of the plunger activates retraction with no added step.
- Pre-Withdrawal Safety – The needle is enclosed before it exits the patient, cutting exposure at the riskiest moment.
- Non-Reusable After Activation – The design locks out reuse once the needle has retracted.
Dosing and Comfort
- Readable Barrel Markings – Clear calibrations support accurate measurement of larger volumes.
- Triple-Beveled Needle – The lubricated point is designed for patient comfort.
- Stable Plunger Control – The concave handle shape helps maintain grip during higher-volume delivery.

Why Choose VanishPoint 5mL Safety Syringe?
Larger doses deserve the same sharps protection as routine ones, and this barrel size is where conventional syringes are still common. Retraction here is passive, the configurations cover preparation and administration, and disposal stays compact.
- Protected Preparation – Reconstitution and draw-up work ends with the needle enclosed, not capped.
- Fewer Container Change-Outs – Retracted syringes occupy less sharps volume across a 600-count case.
- Same Stroke, Safer Ending – Unlike add-on shields, the mechanism fires on the injection stroke clinicians already use.
- Standardized Stocking – One 5mL platform covers eight gauge and length combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 5mL size typically used for?
The 5mL barrel suits larger-volume intramuscular doses and medication preparation such as reconstitution and dilution. The eight attached-needle configurations cover the gauges most often paired with those tasks.
How does retraction work on this size?
When the plunger is fully depressed at the end of the procedure, the needle retracts into the barrel automatically. Retraction happens before withdrawal, so the sharp is enclosed while it leaves the patient.
Can I change the needle after drawing up?
No. The needle is permanently attached, which eliminates change-out exposure between draw-up and administration.
How many syringes come in a case?
Each case holds 600 syringes, packed 100 per box in six boxes. Every configuration on this page is sold by the full case.
Is this syringe reusable after cleaning?
No. It is a single-use device, and activation renders it non-reusable. Dispose of it in a sharps container after the injection.
