Final designs. The seven final designs available to download here are (https://www.exchangesupplies.org/shopsect_linnell_publications.php): ‘Dead space—what is it?’: this poster is designed to inform people about dead space, clearly illustrating what it is. ‘Dead space compared’: this poster shows the dead space in various types of injecting equipment, to help service users make an informed choice. ‘Less bugs, more drugs’: this poster displays the benefits of using low dead space equipment. These benefits were identified through the research. ‘Dead space, viruses, sharing’: this poster combines the message about choosing the lowest dead space possible for where people inject, with broader harm reduction messages. ‘Take, return, repeat’: this poster is designed to encourage the return of used equipment to needle and syringe programmes. ‘Be wise, sterilise’: this poster explains that rinsing low dead space equipment is more effective and gives the steps for sterilising equipment. ‘Naloxone saves lives’: this poster aims to encourage naloxone use, while increasing awareness that low dead space needles are not compatible with Prenoxad kits
