about usWhat is Zero Dead Space Technology?
In traditional needles, “Zero Dead Space” refers to the small internal volume between the syringe and the base of the needle hub-where residual liquid remains trapped after an injection. 
Inconsistent dosing and wasted product from residual fluid can erode practitioner confidence and patient trust — especially when using high-value injectables such as mesotherapy solutions, biopharmaceuticals, or regenerative treatments.
Zelostat eliminates this dead space with a patented elastic hub system, uniquely engineered to fill the gap between the syringe tip and the needle base.
This is accomplished through:

A medical-grade elastic body securely embedded within the needle hub

Dual-edged needle design: both the tip and the base of the needle are sharply pointed

The needle base pierces into the elastic material, forming a completely sealed and continuous fluid pathway

The elastic hub adapts to various luer-lock syringe types, maintaining strong airtightness regardless of syringe brand
technologyKey Advantages of Zelostat's 
Zero Dead Space Needles
Zelostat vs Traditional Needles:
– Dead Volume: Eliminated through elastic hub vs Residual product remains.
– Injection Efficiency: Near 100% drug delivery vs Loss of product due to waste.
– Compatibility: Adapts to various syringes via elastic seal vs May leak or ‘pop off’.
– Safety & Comfort: Lower trauma, lower bleeding risk vs Thick needle wall, more pain.
– Sterile Integrity: Controlled ISO Class 8 production vs varies by manufacturer.

                                                        needle innovationZero Dead Space Technology (ZDS)
Traditional needles often trap residual product in the hub due to rigid connection points, leading to avoidable waste-especially problematic for high-cost medical or aesthetic solutions.
Zelostat solves this with its patented hub design, which uses a soft, elastic material instead of the hard plastic typically found in other needles.
This elastic interface allows the syringe to fit seamlessly into the hub:
- It compresses gently around the syringe tip, creating an airtight seal without leaving space for air or fluid to remain.
 - As a result, nearly 100% of the liquid content is pushed forward into the needle, drastically minimizing product loss.
 - The elastic body also adapts to minor variations in luer-lock syringe tips, ensuring compatibility and consistent sealing performance.
 - Additionally, the bottom-end of the needle is sharp and securely embedded into the medical-grade elastic body, preventing needle popping and enhancing stability under pressure.
 - This secure dual-ended design, where both ends of the needle are edged, contributes to robust attachment and optimal flow control.
 
This innovation is not just a design improvement-it is a patented breakthrough that ensures
maximum product utilization with unmatched injection efficiency.
needle innovationBehind the Technology: Zero Dead Space (ZDS)
At the core of Zelostat’s innovation is its Zero Dead Space Technology, a solution developed to eliminate product waste at the needle hub.
- The syringe connects not to a rigid plastic base, but to a soft, elastic component inside the needle hub. This elastic body compresses tightly around the syringe tip, eliminating gaps where residual fluid would otherwise remain.
 - In addition, the base of the needle is also sharp, allowing it to pierce and anchor securely into the elastic body. This ensures a tight seal and stable connection.
 - The result is near-total delivery of the injectable material, significantly reducing waste and maximizing dosing accuracy-especially important when using high-cost or small-volume products.
 
															Technical Features
- Ultra-thin, super sharp cannula for minimal resistance during penetration

 - Both ends of the needle are edged, providing a secure hold within the hub and ensuring mechanical integrity
 - Minimized dead volume, thanks to the integrated elastic component that fills otherwise empty space
 - Smooth internal bore that allows lower injection pressure and faster delivery
