New Technology in Condoms & Syringes

Hindustan Latex has recently introduced "Bsure"— re-use prevention syringe — in partnership with Becton and Dickinson, one of the world's leading healthcare products companies. The syringe employs a unique plunger breaking mechanism to eliminate its possible re-use. The company had earlier come out with "Autolok"— auto destructive syringe — for the national immunisation programme. It has teamed up with Gambro BCT, a Swedish company and global leader in automated blood collection technologies, for marketing the latter's "blood component therapy aphaeresis systems" in India. The new introductions planned by the company are vibrating ring condom and three-in-one-condom (dotted-ribbed-form fitted).
