how much per unit for the 1ml?

Hey All.

I took receipt of some medical stores last week at work.

On the invoice was the unit price of a BD 1ml syringe (without needle) @ 13 cents under the current NSW Gov contract.

Add maybe 10 cents for the needle, makes a BD 1ml syringe, ready for use, at 23 cents.

No inbuilt safety features of course.

If the UNI 1ml was around 35 cents, as I recall someone mentioning some time ago, there is an obvious premium for the inbuilt safety features.

Is the cost conscious Healthcare market prepared to pay that premium?

I hope so, although the UniFill is now the main game.

Bring on 2011.

IMO.
