Doselock is a patented product delivery system that fits around the plunger of a standard syringe and is available in 30ml and 50ml sizes. The device is a permanently lockable stem that can be set by the pharmacist during dispensing and allows a precise dose (lockable intervals set 1mm) to be safely administered from the syringe by the nurse, with any residual drug being discarded.
Currently, pharmacies stock and use a number of different size stock syringes to make up a given dose. Doselock is an alternative to dosebanding that reduces the number of syringes that need to be stocked, dispensed and disposed of- reducing wastage, minimising risk of contamination and significantly reducing cost.
