A Kerala-based doctor has developed a “cheap, effective and eco-friendly” medical syringe that can never be reused.

The Peanut Safe Syringe becomes absolutely redundant after its first use. It can’t be reused — neither the syringe nor the needle.

— Dr Baby Manoj, Inventor of Peanut Safe Syringe

The syringe got its name from the peculiarity of peanut pods, which exposes the nuts-not seen or touched-only when it is broken.
