Needle-free injection systems are novel ways to introduce various medicines into patients without piercing the skin with a conventional needle. Needle free injection gives very effective injections for a wide range of drugs.  Needle free systems are designed to avoid the problems associated with conventional needles making them safer, less expensive, and more suitable.
