Present State of the Art

In current applications, single-use 100 cc isotonic sodium chloride solution solutions (serum), which are currently used in hospitals, are used to dilute drugs. An further injector is opened so as to dilute the drug, an antiseptic solution and sterile gauze are used to wipe the needle insertion area of the flexible bag (mediflex) containing isotonic sodium chloride solution. Since the needle tips are 22 G thick, there are difficulties in application. At the same time, the amount of isotonic sodium chloride liquid to be used to dilute the drug can be 20cc, 50cc and the remaining solution (serum) is wasted. These applications prevent the efficient use of time, waste materials, and cause difficulties in compliance with aseptic methods. Also, the use of unprotected needle tips causes stab wounds.
