OPERATION
The Rev Vac Safety Syringe and Phlebotomy (blood drawing) Device operate the same as a standard syringe and device. No additional training, skills, or procedures are necessary. The both products work on a vacuum principle, where pressing the plunger in them creates a vacuum. When the plunger reaches the bottom, the needle is captured. A further push on the plunger breaks the seal, and the needle retracts into the plunger barrel. The vacuum is maintained, so the needle cannot be removed from the plunger. The Rev Vac Safety Syringe is FDA Approved.

The combined major benefits of the Rev Vac Safety Syringe are improved ease of operation and enhanced safety through simplicity of design and use.

Revolutions Medical owns the patents and will manufacture a disposable retractable syringe and phlebotomy device. The products use a proprietary patented technology in which a vacuum causes the needle to retract into the barrel of the syringe or device after an injection is administered or blood is drawn. Prototype units have been produced and tested, but no units have been manufactured. The products have been designed to be manufactured at a cost that is approximately equal to the cost of traditional disposable syringes and phlebotomy devices and are intended to be a safe replacement for existing non-safe syringes and phlebotomy devices and even currently marketed syringes and devices labeled as safety products.

With traditional syringes and phlebotomy devices, a needle contaminated with a patient’s blood remains a danger to healthcare professionals handling the needle until it is permanently disposed of in a proper biohazard containment unit. Revolutions Medical’s safety products do not present a “needlestick” hazard to health professionals after use because the contaminated needle is retracted into the barrel of the safety product and locked in place.
