Product Description

Let me tell you about why this 3 mL Luer Lock Syringe with a 23G, 1″ needle isn’t just any syringe; it’s a companion you can depend on, whether you’re in a busy clinic, caring for a beloved pet, or mixing an essential blend at home.

What It Is

This is a sterile, single-use syringe and needle combo. You’ll find the 3 mL polypropylene barrel clearly marked in 0.5 mL increments, giving you room to measure multiple doses without running out. The Luer Lock tip features a threaded design that screws the needle firmly into place. No wobble, no leak.

How It Works

You simply pop out your sterile pack, attach the cap, and twist on the needle. When you draw back the plunger, you’ll feel that satisfying, smooth resistance; thanks to the fine-quality elastomer stopper that glides across the barrel without sticking. When injecting, that 23-gauge needle, at one inch long, is fine enough to reduce tissue trauma while still penetrating effectively. Whether it’s through rubber vial stoppers or skin.

What Makes It Effective and Different

This syringe stands out for a few big reasons:

• Secure threaded connection keeps the needle firmly locked, no accidental loosening under pressure.
• Clarity and precision: Graduations in clear print at 0.5 mL steps reduce the chance of dosing errors.
• Sterile, individually sealed packaging keeps everything uncontaminated until the moment you use it; great for emergency bags, labs, or vet kits.
• Latex-free and autoclavable, this syringe is safe for those with sensitivities and can be sterilized if needed.

Real Story from a Customer

One nurse shared how, during a hectic flu season, she relied on this syringe for precise vaccine doses: “During my shift, the threaded needle never loosened, even after dozens of doses, it held firm and the markings helped me give exactly 0.5 mL each time. I felt confident I wasn’t losing any in residual volume.” It’s this kind of trust, knowing each unit will perform flawlessly, that helps you breeze through a long day without second-guessing your tools.

How to Use

Preparation (Before Opening)

1. Choose the right setting: work on a clean, flat surface away from sinks or contamination. Keep alcohol wipes, gloves, and a sharps container nearby.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly and put on gloves to reduce contamination risk .
3. Inspect each sealed package for damage or expiration, only use if fully intact and labeled sterile.

1. Opening & Assembling

1. Peel open the syringes’ blister pack using clean flaps; avoid touching the tip.
2. Push the needle hub onto the Luer Lock tip firmly, then twist clockwise to lock it securely; this makes a strong, leak-resistant connection.
3. Once connected, carefully remove the needle cap without touching the needle or the hub.

2. Drawing Up Medication

1. With the capped needle upright, pull the plunger back to draw air equal to your intended dose (e.g., for 1.5 mL, draw back to 1.5).
2. Clean the vial’s rubber stopper with an alcohol swab, let it dry.
3. Insert the needle into the vial, inject the air to equalize pressure, then invert and draw up medication slowly.
4. Tap to bring air bubbles to the top; gently push them back into the vial and pull back again to get the exact amount .

3. Injecting Safely

1. Clean the injection site with 70% isopropyl alcohol; allow it to air-dry .
2. For intramuscular (IM) use:
   • Hold syringe like a pencil; insert at a 90‑degree angle with bevel up.
   • Draw back slightly (aspirate); if no blood appears, press plunger slowly (about 10 seconds per mL) .
   • Wait 10 seconds before withdrawing, this helps retain medication at the site .
3. For subcutaneous (SC) use:
   • Pinch skin into a fold; insert at a 45‑degree angle.
4. Avoid dragging the needle; withdraw in a smooth, steady motion and apply gentle pressure or a band‑aid.

4. Needle Safety & Disposal

1. Never recap using both hands, you risk a needlestick.
2. Engage one-handed ‘scoop’ capping if needed.
3. Dispose of the needle and syringe immediately into a locked sharps container .
4. Replace gloves and clean your workspace after completing one injection.

Pro Tips

• Air first: Drawing in air before medication helps avoid airlock and make dose adjustments more precise.
• Timing matters: Let alcohol dry fully before injection to avoid stinging or tissue irritation.
• Gauge awareness: Though 23 G is ideal for most IM and SC needs, remember that very viscous meds may need lower gauge tools.
• Trust the twist lock: A secure Luer Lock twist keeps everything snug, no worries about leaks during drawing or injecting.

FAQs

Q1: What’s the difference between Luer Lock and Luer Slip syringes?

A: With a Luer Lock syringe, you twist the needle onto the syringe tip and lock it securely, creating a leak- and wobble-free connection under pressure. Luer Slip just pushes on by friction, which might work for low-pressure uses but isn’t ideal when you’re drawing or injecting high-viscosity fluids or need precision under pressure .

Q2: Is the 23G needle too fine, or too big, for injections?

A: 23‑gauge is a happy medium; fine enough to reduce pain, thick enough for smooth flow. The “thin-wall” design allows it to glide through tissue or vial stoppers with minimal resistance. That makes it popular for both IM and SC injections .

Q3: Can I use these syringes with other brand needles or syringes?

A: Yes. They follow the global Luer taper (ISO 80369‑7) standards, so any Luer Lock‑compliant needle will work seamlessly .

Q4: Are these syringes latex‑free or BPA/DEHP‑free?

A: Most top manufacturers, like BD and Terumo, make similar syringes with polypropylene barrels and elastomer sealers that are latex‑, BPA‑, and DEHP‑free. That’s a win for allergy safety .

Q5: I’ve heard of some brands being recalled, should I worry?

A: Brand reliability matters. There was a Class 1 recall of Cardinal Health Monoject 3 mL Luer Lock syringes due to changes affecting pump compatibility. Always check for recalls, purchase from trusted suppliers, and verify lot numbers before use .

Q6: Can I reuse these syringes after sterilizing?

A: No, these are single‑use only. Reusing them, even if you tried to sterilize, invites contamination and undermines precision. Always discard in a sharps container after your session .

Q7: What’s the best needle gauge for specific needs, like vaccine, B12, or CBD oil?

A: For intramuscular meds like B12 or vaccines, 22–25 G with 1–1.5 in length is typical. For subcutaneous, leaner and shorter, 25–27 G, about ⅜–⅝ in, works better. 23 G×1″ is a versatile “all‑rounder” suitable for both IM and SC in many situations .

Real Tip from the Pet Owner

One pet-owner shared:

“I switched to this 23 G syringe for my cat’s daily meds, he tolerates it better now, and I can draw exactly 0.6 mL without stress.”

That mix of precision and gentleness? Exactly what makes this syringe a staple for so many caregivers.
