Self-destruct syringes

Marc Koska makes the K1 cylinder automatic decomposition, which can not be reused after each use.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.3 million people die each year from diseases that are spread through the use of needles. Drug users use syringes to inject drugs, but many doctors and nurses use needles and syringes for many people.

If the cylinder can not be reused after each use, it can prevent many fatalities. It was the idea for Marc Koska to create the K1 automatic decomposition cylinder.

Syringe K1 has a small ring in the cylinder. The specially designed piston can only be retracted once. If you continue to pull the piston back to smoke, the end of the piston will be broken.

Just a small adjustment on the current cylinder mold is that current syringe production lines can produce self-decomposing syringes.

K1 syringes are currently used in many developed and developing countries.

Marc Koska has worked for 27 years to prevent reuse of the syringe. He designed the K1 self-destruct syringe to set up the Syringe Company to produce syringes and operate the SafePoint charitable fund to prevent needle reuse around the world, especially in poor African countries.
