Description
The 12 mL Luer Lock syringes are intended for general use. The syringe contains no needles and is intended for single use only. It has clear 0.2 mL graduations. Reusing a needle or syringe increases the risk of transmittable diseases in patients therefore these are disposable single-use syringes.
The Luer-lock syringe provides a very tight fit as you rotate the needle clockwise. Sterile syringes can be securely threaded to needles or IV ports using an integrated Luer-Lok hub. The syringe has a positive plunger rod stop and a tapered plunger rod to aid in aspiration. The barrel is made of polypropylene plastic.
The Luer-lock syringe tip is used on combination units. The gauge and bar stripe on each package are color-coded. Plastic Luer-Lok syringes are nonpyrogenic and nontoxic, with large-scale markings but no needles. The needle in a Luer lock syringe can be twisted at the tip. The needle can be locked in place, ensuring a secure injection and preventing the contents from being accidentally inserted or removed. Syringes with Luer locks prevent their contents from leaking.
