- Used for precise, small-volume measurements and injections
Uses:
- Tuberculin skin testing:
- The syringe is specifically designed for the Mantoux skin test for tuberculosis (TB), which requires a precise intradermal injection
- Subcutaneous (Sub-Q) injections:
- The fine gauge and short length make it suitable for injections into the fatty tissue just under the skin, such as with insulin or certain hormones
- Venipuncture:
- The 20-gauge size offers a good flow rate for collecting blood samples for routine tests
- Vaccinations:
- The syringe can be used for administering vaccinations that require small, precise dosages
- Allergy testing:
- It is commonly used for administering small, precise amounts of allergens for allergy skin tests
- Pediatric medication:
- The fine needle and precise dosage control make it appropriate for administering medication to infants and small children
- Aspiration of fluids:
- The syringe is also used for drawing up medications or other solutions from vials or ampules
Features:
- Advanced safety mechanism:
- The hinged safety sheath can be activated in three ways—with a thumb, a finger, or against a hard surface—allowing clinicians to choose the method that best suits the clinical situation
- The sheath locks securely over the needle and the hub, preventing re-exposure and reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries
- An audible, visible, and tactile "click" confirms proper activation
- Sharp needle:
- The safety needle features Terumo's T-Sharp™ technology with a double-bevel tip, which provides a consistently sharp point for smooth penetration and greater patient comfort
- Clear syringe barrel:
- The barrel has ultra-clear clarity and bold scale markings, with 0.01 mL increments, allowing for precise dosage confirmation
- Ergonomic design:
- Separate thumb and finger grips with ridges and non-slip surfaces are engineered for a secure and comfortable hold
- Secure tip:
- The syringe has a Luer-Lock or Luer-Slip tip for a secure, leak-free connection to the needle
- Latex-free:
- The product is not made with natural rubber latex, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions
- Single-use and sterile:
- It is sterile and individually packaged in a tamper-evident, soft blister pack for single use, preventing cross-contamination
