Abstract: As a new type of high-risk packaging container, prefilled syringes are more widely used, and concerns regarding their effectiveness, stability and safety in clinical use have become prominent increasingly. However, the leachable substances from prefilled syringes may cause harm to humans in different degrees. Therefore, this paper reviews the research progress of leachable substances in prefilled syringes, which is not only of great significance for the quality control of prefilled syringe products, but also contributes to the healthy development of the industry.
