What is a Disposable Luer Lock Syringe?
A disposable Luer Lock syringe is a medical-grade, single-use syringe designed with a Luer Lock mechanism to securely attach a needle or other compatible medical devices. The Luer Lock feature uses a twist-and-lock system to ensure a tight, leak-proof connection, preventing accidental detachment during use.
How does a Luer Lock syringe differ from a Luer Slip syringe?
- Luer Lock Syringe:
- Features a threaded, twist-lock connection for a secure fit.
- Ideal for high-pressure applications or when a stable connection is critical.
- Luer Slip Syringe:
- Uses a push-fit connection where the needle is simply pushed onto the syringe tip.
- Easier to use but less secure compared to Luer Lock syringes.
What is the purpose of the safety needle?
The safety needle is designed to reduce the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries. After use, the needle can retract or be covered, ensuring safe disposal and protecting healthcare workers and patients.
