The nevershare syringe is the world’s first syringe designed for injecting drug users!

The nevershare syringe is the world’s first syringe designed for injecting drug users! – With plungers in a range of colours to reduce accidental sharing.

The 'mixing up' of syringes when groups of people are injecting together has long been recognised as a significant cause of accidental sharing.

The nevershare syringe has been manufactured exclusively for Exchange Supplies by a leading European syringe manufacturer with:

  • five different plunger colours to reduce sharing;
  • nevershare logo/brand on the syringe and all packaging to reinforce the most
    important harm reduction message;
  • markings in ml (rather than insulin units); and
  • 30 gauge needle to minimise vein damage.

By supplying syringes with coloured plungers you can now reduce blood-borne virus transmission more effectively by:

  • reducing the risk of accidental sharing;
  • reinforcing the importance of having your own equipment, and not sharing;
  • making the issue of sharing explicit with every syringe; and
  • promoting strategies to prevent accidental sharing.
