OXO brings great design to syringes

Its definitely more ergonomic for the inexperienced user, but if you regularly inject yourself you don't find the existing design lacking whatsoever. I take a shot a week and its a thoughtless, effortless act at this point.<p>It is a great design, and maybe it would offer a lot of value for older people with less agile hands?<p>Cost is the other issue - I bought 200 single-use disposables for like $20 shipped. That will last me almost 4 years.

So, how much would these be to produce versus the traditional? It's a pretty big single-use product.

The worst can opener I've ever used was made by OXO. And their current can opener designs look like they have the same inexplicably unergonomic handle shape on the part you turn that mine did. Terrible.

So, this really gives new meaning to "Heroin Chic."

I didn't even know that 'designed' syringes could exist. I think those could help me with my fear of needles.
