This safety and informational film was intended to train nurses or hospital staff of the correct procedures for using the Monoject injection system using the sterile platform technique. A nurse demonstrates the handling and disposal of the syringe, with an emphasis of safety and sanitation. Monoject needles (which are still in use today) are needle-based safety devices that protect the healthcare worker from accidental needlestick injuries. The easy one-handed design and robust safety shield of the Monoject Syringe ensure the clinician is protected against any exposures from sharps injury.

Title “Monoject Injection System.” Pan of a drawer, syringes and a red box on top of pink satin (00:20). Close up of two, then four syringes. A red box reads “Contaminated.” Syringes sit upright in a sterile platform system (00:54). A nurse opens a green metal drawer with a key. She pulls out a plastic tube. She twists the cap of the tube and demonstrates proper opening technique (1:37). She demonstrates how the heat seal works and what it means if it is loose. She opens a new one and pulls the syringe out. She uses the syringe to draw medication (3:09). She pulls the sheath over the needle. She carries the mono tray of syringes to a man lying in bed and injects him (3:40). The used syringe is returned to its sheath and platform. The nurse bends the needle back and forth into it snaps into the sheath. She then breaks the tip off into the sheath and places the parts into the red contamination box (4:30). She breaks a new syringe using the platform this time. She snaps a third syringe. The locked green drawer is opened. She twists a new plastic tube breaking the heat seal, ensuring the sterility of the syringe inside. Close up of needle cartridge (5:33). She twists the cap. The needle is attached to the syringe and the sheath is pulled off. It is returned to the platform. She injects the patient and breaks the contaminated syringe. It is placed in the contamination box. Graphic shows syringe + fire = carbon dioxide and water (7:15). They explain that when he syringes are burned they turn into water and carbon dioxide, which is good for the environment. A bulldozer moves earth. Pan of the equipment. Close up of the nurse opening the Monoject syringe. She injects the patient and destroys the syringe. The platform of syringes is displayed on the pink satin (8:46).
