Designed to improve patient outcomes³
BD Luer-Lok™ Tip Cap: Tighter seal for closure integrity helping prevent touch contamination
Standard 10 mL syringe diameter helps reduce the risk of cannula damages
Generates significantly lower pressure (PSI) compared to standard 3 mL syringes
Clear labelling helps reduce the risk of medication errors
Easily identifiable syringe contents; Bold print for clarity
Enhances clinical practice
- Ready-to-administer medical device that does not require any further manipulation by the clinician
- Eliminates the need for needles, glass vials and ampoules
- Reduces PVC flushing time in comparison to manually prepared flush syringes¹, creating time savings and efficiency
Compact syringe profile reduces waste and costs
Selecting smaller size syringes (3 mL or 5 mL) for peripheral lines:
- Reduces storage and disposal costs
- Helps minimise environmental waste
- 3-year shelf life
Manufacturing quality for patient safety
Using a fully automated production process from start to finish limits interruptions in production due to lapses in the supply chain, and allows us to have control over all steps involved in making pre-filled syringes, such as:
- Quality of raw material
- Optimised syringe design for flushing
- Shelf-life
- Sterile saline solution
