[The safety of the jet (needle-free) injection]

|July 1, 1994
Abstract:
The analysis of literature doesn't give strong confirmation that jet injection could provoke the transmission of the infection. Nevertheless such infection is possible because of retrograde flow of vaccine preparation which just has mixed with tissue liquid of a previous patient or taking into account a continuous contact of an injector head with patient's skin during injection. The design of the injector head has a certain significance on this matter. These risk factors can be eliminated by strict observation of rules for handling these instruments. It's necessary to conduct additional experimental researches to prove or refute the safety of jet injections.
