Disposable syringes
Disposable syringes
Colin Murdoch, a curious man, decided to make disposable syringes. Colin Murdoch was a pharmacist, he tested all sorts of chemicals and substances. Though because pharmacy training required non human patients he decided to also veterinarian resume as well. He studied a lot of chemistry mechanics during his other resumes. Colin suffered dyslexia but that didn’t stop him from inventing things. He became a tinker and just had fun with a lot of things.
Colin started inventing all sorts of things like the tranquillising dart gun, silent burglar alarm. He made over 40 different inventions. The most important one was the disposable syringes. He created it in 1956. He got the idea from a fountain pen and just started tinkering. Next thing you know he made the syringe. People became cross invented by re-use of hypodermic syringes. Though on the down side the health department said his idea was too ahead of time, that never stopped him.
He got his first award for the child proof bottle cap. But the coolest one is the one he got for his syringe. He got the Governor General's Export award for his sterile refilled disposable hypodermic syringe. Colin got many awards in his years, and he is a very smart man.
These were what they looked like
