Description

Hypodermic Syringe and Needle

• Description: Standard syringe with a hypodermic needle.
• Use: Used for injecting medications directly into the bloodstream or muscle and for drawing blood.
• Features: Available in varying sizes (1 ml to 60 ml), often with luer lock tips to secure the needle.

2. Insulin Syringe

• Description: Small, precise syringe, usually 1 ml or less, with fine needles.
• Use: Designed for subcutaneous injection of insulin in diabetic patients.
• Features: Thin needles (28 to 31 gauge) to minimize pain; labeled in insulin units.

3. Tuberculin Syringe

• Description: 1 ml syringe with a fine needle.
• Use: Primarily for administering tuberculosis (TB) tests or small-dose medications.
• Features: Fine calibration, often in 0.01 ml increments for precise dosing.

4. Intravenous (IV) Syringe

• Description: Large syringes (5 ml to 60 ml) used with IV equipment.
• Use: For injecting fluids or medications directly into IV lines.
• Features: Often paired with blunt-tip needles or luer lock for secure IV line attachment.

5. Safety Syringe

• Description: Syringe with a retractable needle or shield mechanism.
• Use: Prevents needlestick injuries, commonly used for intramuscular and subcutaneous injections.
• Features: Needle retracts or is covered after use, providing added safety.

6. Catheter Tip Syringe

• Description: Syringe with a tapered tip instead of a needle.
• Use: For irrigating wounds, flushing catheters, or administering tube feedings.
• Features: Soft, rounded tip designed to fit catheter tubing.

7. Prefilled Syringe

• Description: Single-use syringe preloaded with medication.
• Use: Convenient for emergency situations and vaccinations.
• Features: Reduces risk of dosing errors, often used with anticoagulants or vaccines.

8. Leur Lock Syringe

• Description: Syringe with a threaded tip to secure the needle.
• Use: Used where needle detachment could pose risks, common in injections and IV procedures.
• Features: Provides a secure connection to prevent needle dislodgement.

9. Oral Syringe

• Description: Needle-free syringe used for measuring liquid medications.
• Use: For administering oral medications, especially in pediatric and geriatric patients.
• Features: Color-coded (often orange) to differentiate from injection syringes.

10. Spinal Needle

• Description: Thin, long needle used in conjunction with a syringe.
• Use: For spinal taps, lumbar punctures, or administering spinal anesthesia.
• Features: Fine gauge to minimize trauma and specialized for accurate placement.

11. Filter Needle

• Description: Needle with a built-in filter to trap particulates.
• Use: Used when drawing medication from ampoules to prevent glass particles from entering.
• Features: Designed to prevent contamination, essential in sterile environments.

12. Blunt Fill Needle

• Description: Blunt-tipped needle with a wide diameter.
• Use: For drawing up medications from vials, not for injections.
• Features: Minimizes risk of needlestick injury and preserves the sharpness of injection needles.

13. Blood Collection Needle

• Description: Double-ended needle used with vacutainer systems.
• Use: Primarily for phlebotomy, allowing for multiple blood samples without needle removal.
• Features: Allows quick sample changes without needle reinsertion.

14. Butterfly Needle

• Description: Needle with two plastic wings for easy grip.
• Use: Used for drawing blood or short-term IV infusions, especially in small veins.
• Features: Wings offer better control and reduced vein trauma.

15. Epidural Needle

• Description: Large-bore, curved-tip needle used in conjunction with a syringe.
• Use: For administering anesthesia into the epidural space, common in labor and pain management.
• Features: Specialized for epidural placement with a catheter for continuous medication delivery.

16. Auto-disable (AD) Syringe

• Description: Syringe designed for single use with a self-destruct mechanism.
• Use: Used mainly for vaccination programs to prevent reuse.
• Features: Built-in lock that disables the syringe after one use.

17. Aspiration Needle

• Description: Fine needle, often long and thin.
• Use: For drawing fluids or cells from tissues (e.g., cysts or abscesses).
• Features: Thin diameter, available in various lengths depending on the target tissue depth.

18. Micro-Fine Needle

• Description: Extremely thin needle, usually attached to insulin or subcutaneous syringes.
• Use: For delicate injections where minimal pain and trauma are necessary, like in insulin injections.
• Features: Smaller gauge (30 to 32 gauge) for minimal pain on insertion.

19. Angiographic Needle

• Description: Thin, long needle used for vascular access.
• Use: Often used in angiography for inserting catheters into blood vessels.
• Features: Designed for high precision with minimal tissue trauma, commonly with an echogenic tip for ultrasound guidance.

20. Irrigation Syringe

• Description: Large syringe without a needle, often a bulb or piston style.
• Use: Primarily for wound irrigation, ear cleaning, or oral rinsing.
• Features: Non-needle tip with a gentle spray mechanism to prevent tissue damage.
