Needle-free injections vaccinations in Sri Lanka for the first time

Ceyoka Health, a subsidiary of Ceyoka (Pvt) Ltd, an arm of diversified conglomerate Nawaloka Holdings, has for the first time introduced advanced needle-free technology in Sri Lanka, revolutionising the future of vaccinations. Needles have been the accepted standard for injections. However, for patients especially children the fear of needles is very real, associated with pain and discomfort resulting in declining routine vaccinations. “As the exclusive distributor of Bioject's commercial needle-free injection technology, Ceyoka Health offers Sri Lanka’s healthcare industry, a novel injection method that promises to be more efficient and pain free,” the company said in a media statement on Wednesday. Bioject's technology works by forcing liquid medication at high speed through a tiny orifice held against the skin. This creates an ultra-fine stream of fluid that penetrates the skin, delivering medication in a fraction of a second. Bioject's systems are designed to deliver injected medications comfortably, accurately, and quickly - without the use of a needle. - ENDS -
