FAQs
Is this syringe suitable for administering injections?
This syringe is a catheter tip syringe and is supplied *without* a needle. While it can be used to draw up and dispense liquids, you would need to attach a separate needle if injection is intended.
Can this syringe be used for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this syringe is completely latex-free, making it safe for use with individuals who have latex sensitivities or allergies.
How do I ensure the syringe remains sterile before use?
Always check that the sterile packaging is intact and has not been compromised before opening. Open the package carefully, avoiding contact with the tip and the inside of the barrel.
What is the purpose of the retaining ring?
The retaining ring is designed to prevent the plunger rod from accidentally being withdrawn too far, which helps maintain control during fluid delivery and prevents the plunger from separating from the barrel.
Can I reuse this syringe?
No, this is a sterile, single-use syringe. Reuse or reprocessing can compromise sterility and lead to infection or inaccurate dosage.
What does 'Catheter Tip' mean?
A catheter tip is a type of nozzle on the syringe that is longer and more tapered than a Luer-Lok or Luer-Slip tip. It is designed for secure connection to tubing or catheters, often used for irrigation, feeding, or aspiration.
How accurate is the volume marking?
The syringe features bold scale printing designed to achieve more accurate dosage, supported by a clear barrel for precise visualization of the fluid level.
Troubleshooting
Plunger is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the syringe is within its expiry date and has been stored correctly. If the plunger is still stiff, the syringe may be defective and should not be used; discard and use a new one.
Difficulty in drawing or dispensing fluid.
Check that the tip is not blocked. Ensure the plunger is fully depressed before drawing fluid, and pull back smoothly for dispensing. If using with tubing, ensure connections are secure and not kinked.
Leakage from the tip or plunger seal.
Inspect the syringe for any damage. Ensure any attached tubing or catheter is securely fitted. If leakage persists, the syringe may be compromised and should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This syringe is designed for immediate use upon opening the sterile packaging. Ensure the sterile seal is intact before opening. Remove the syringe from its packaging, taking care not to touch the tip or the inside of the barrel. Attach any necessary tubing or catheter securely to the tip if required for the intended application.
Compatibility: The catheter tip is compatible with standard medical tubing and catheters. Its 100ml volume makes it suitable for larger fluid management tasks. Being latex-free, it is compatible with patients who have latex sensitivities.
Care: As a sterile, single-use device, this syringe is not intended for reprocessing or reuse. After use, dispose of the syringe according to local healthcare facility protocols for medical waste. Store unused syringes in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
