What Are Luer Lock Syringe?

A Luer Lock syringe without a needle is a specialized syringe featuring a threaded tip, which allows attachments like needles, catheters, or dispensing tips to be securely screwed into place. This locking mechanism prevents accidental detachment and minimizes leaks, making it a reliable tool for a wide variety of medical and laboratory.

Benefits of a Luer Lock syringe

Luer Lock syringes are often preferred over Luer Slip (friction-fit) syringes for applications where a secure, leak-proof connection is critical.

• Enhanced safety: The twist-and-lock design reduces the risk of accidental disconnection, which is crucial when handling hazardous materials or for high-pressure injections.

  
  

• Greater accuracy: By creating a stable, leak-free connection, the Luer Lock system ensures precise fluid dispensing and measurement.

  
  

• High-pressure compatibility: The secure connection allows these syringes to be used for procedures involving high pressure, such as delivering contrast dye for medical scans.

  
  

• Versatility: The standardized ISO Luer fitting ensures compatibility across many different brands of needles, catheters, and other attachments
