Description
Injection Syringes
BD® syringes are available in 2-piece technology (without stopper) or 3-piece technology (with stopper).
They feature a clear barrel for holding liquid, clearly graduated to allow accurate and visual measurement of the syringe contents.
The syringes are available with a BD® luer lock tip, concentric luer slip tip or eccentric luer slip tip and can be fitted with either a conventional needle or safety needle syringes are used for flushing (cleaning) catheters, gastrostomy tubes and other devices
BD Discardit™ II – 2-Piece Syringe
- Transparent barrel for good visualization of syringe content
- Smooth plunger movement, reduced sliding force
- Leak-tight
- Accurate graduation suited to user’s needs
- Retaining ring to prevent accidental plunger rod withdrawal
- Design of finger grip flanges ensures stability and comfort during injection
- Ergonomically designed plunger for single-handed operation
- Sterile, single-use
- Natural Rubber Latex is not part of the material formulation
A 2-Piece Design To ensure leak tightness, the syringe plunger has a larger diameter than the barrel. At the same time, the syringe barrel has to have thin wall technology to be flexible enough to accommodate the plunger movement. This requires precision molding of barrel and plunger.
The resin formulation used for the barrel is self-lubricating so there is no need for additional lubrication with silicone oil.
Graduations Scale markings typically in cubic centimetres (cc) or millilitre (ml) units. These units of measure are equivalent. Barrel Reservoir for holding liquid, clearly graduated to allow accurate and visual measurement of the syringe contents.
Flanges The “wings” that jut out from the side of the syringe barrel providing an area or surface for the index finger and middle finger to grasp during aspiration or administration.
Thumb Press The clinician presses to push the plunger rod down into the barrel to expel its content Plunger Rod A piston-like device inside the barrel
Concentric Luer Slip Tip:
A friction-fit connection that requires the clinician to insert the tip of the syringe into the needle hub or another attaching device in a pushand-twist manner. This will ensure a connection that is less likely to detach. Simply sliding the attaching device onto the syringe tip will not ensure a secure fitting.
Eccentric Luer Slip Tip:
Allows for work requiring closer proximity to the skin. Generally used for venipunctures and aspiration of fluids.
BD Plastipak – 3-Piece Syringe
- Clear barrel for visualization of syringe content
- Bold scale printing to aid in setting for a more accurate dosage of medication
- Special silicone lubrication ensures that plunger moves smoothly and evenly
- Retaining ring to prevent accidental plunger rod withdrawal
- Leak-tight (locking facility on BD Luer-Lok™ syringes)
- BD Luer-Lok™ needle hub or extension line can be safely locked on the syringe
- Not autoclavable
- Sterile, single-use
- Natural Rubber Latex is not part of the material formulation
Luer Lok Tip:
Generally used for injections requiring a secure connection of the syringe to another device. The tip is threaded for a “locking” fit, and is compatible with a variety of needles, catheters and other devices.
Concentric Luer Slip Tip:
A friction-fit connection that requires the clinician to insert the tip of the syringe into the needle hub or another attaching device in a pushand-twist manner. This will ensure a connection that is less likely to detach. Simply sliding the attaching device onto the syringe tip will not ensure a secure fitting.
