• Luer Lock Tip

• Luer Slip Tip

• Catheter Tip

• Eccentric Tip

This design enables quick needle attachment and removal, making it convenient for situations where frequent needle changes are needed. Ideal for applications that do not require a high-pressure seal.

• Luer Lock Tip

• Luer Slip Tip

• Catheter Tip

• Eccentric Tip

A specialized syringe designed with longer, tapered tip. This type of syringe is primarily used for applications where a needle is not required, such as administering fluids through feeding tubes, catheters, or irrigation procedures.

• Luer Lock Tip

• Luer Slip Tip

• Catheter Tip

• Eccentric Tip

A type of syringe designed with the nozzle positioned (eccentric) rather than in the middle of the syringe barrel. This design allows the needle to be placed almost parallel to the injection surface, making it particularly useful for procedures that require injections at a shallow angle.

• Luer Lock Tip

• Luer Slip Tip

• Catheter Tip
