Needles and syringes perform four crucial functions: injection tools, fluid or biopsy collection devices, irrigation tools, and suction tools. In their primary function, injectable devices deliver drugs to the body. Insulin, vaccinations, anxiolytics, analgesics, anesthetics, antibiotics, muscle relaxants, hormones, vitamins, and other medications are frequently injected. You can find a variety of needles and syringes at ritewaymed.com from top brands such as BD, Cardinal Health, Covidien, Mckesson, Medline, Teleflex, & Ulticare.

Syringes
Parenteral medication uses syringes. Disposable syringes come in a range of sizes, from 0.5 mL to 60 mL, and are sterile medical equipment. A plunger, a barrel, and a needle hub make up a syringe. Also, syringes can be delivered separately or with a needle and cap already attached. There are numerous nozzle types and sizes available for syringes:
- Disposable Ciringe Luer slip syringes come in 1ml, 3ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml, and 50ml sizes (the 50ml size Luer slip tip is off-centre [eccentric]).
- Ciringe disposable Luer lock syringes come in sizes of 3 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml, and 50 ml.
Needles
Needles comprise stainless steel. They come in a range of lengths and sizes, are sterile, and are disposable. Also, the hub, shaft, and bevel are the components of a needle. The syringe’s tip is where the hub attaches. All three components must always be sterile. Moreover, the needle’s tip refers to the bevel and is angled in order to cut a slit into the skin.
Gauge and Length of Needles
The diameter of a needle refers to as its gauge. Needles come in a variety of gauge sizes, from tiny (25 to 29 gauge) to enormous (big diameter) (18 to 22 gauge). Keep in mind that the gauge number decreases with increasing needle diameter. Moreover, thicker drugs or blood products are often administered using larger diameter needles (18–22 gauge).
Types of Needles & Syringes
General Purpose Syringe
It’s crucial to have a tuberculin syringe with a Luer lock tip that is comfortable, reliable, and effective. The tri-beveled stainless steel walls on the sharp needles make it simple to penetrate. Additionally, color-coded needles for easy and quick identification are available.
Disposable Hypodermic Needle
Decrease the danger of needlestick injuries with the use of disposable hypodermic needle-locking mechanisms. Also, the hypodermic needle is a simple, understandable design without intricate machinery. Furthermore, the package, safety hinge, and needle hub are all color-coded and ISO-compliant to make it simple to identify the [X]-gauge needle size.
Irrigation Syringe
A range of caps and tips are available on the irrigation syringe 60cc. This helps in the irrigation of feeding tubes and medication administration. Also, during 24-hour use, the resealable flaps aid in preventing contamination. Syringes for irrigation have universal ENFit TM tips. Moreover, ENFit TM tips eliminate connectivity concerns between feeding tubes, administration sets, and flush feeding syringes due to their locking capabilities.
Syringe with Hypodermic Needle
Tri-beveled safety syringe with a hypodermic needle has stainless steel walls for easy penetration. Also, an opaque barrel with graduations enables precise fluid dosage. Moreover, the double-seal stopper helps reduce medicine leaking. Moreover, the secure backstop helps prevent unintentional plunger withdrawal.
