BD Discardit Syringe 20ml - 21G*1.5 inch

The BD Discardit Syringe 20ml with a 21G x 1.5 inch needle is a disposable medical device intended for the aspiration and injection of fluids. This syringe is constructed from medical-grade polypropylene for the barrel and plunger, ensuring clarity and chemical resistance.

The plunger tip is designed to create a secure seal with the barrel wall, minimizing dead space and promoting accurate fluid delivery. The attached needle is manufactured from stainless steel, featuring a sharp, beveled tip for ease of penetration and reduced tissue trauma during use. The 21-gauge needle offers a balance between flow rate and patient comfort, while the 1.

5-inch length is suitable for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, as well as for drawing samples from various sources.

This syringe operates through a simple mechanical principle. The plunger, when pulled back, creates a vacuum within the barrel, drawing fluid into the syringe. When the plunger is pushed forward, the fluid is expelled through the needle.

The clear markings on the barrel allow for precise measurement of the volume of fluid aspirated or injected. The needle is permanently attached to the syringe tip, eliminating the risk of disconnection during use and ensuring a closed system for fluid transfer. The Luer-Lok or Luer-Slip connection mechanism ensures secure attachment to other medical devices if required, although this specific model features a permanently attached needle.

The key features of this syringe include its substantial 20ml capacity, which is beneficial for procedures requiring larger volumes of medication or fluid. The 21-gauge, 1.5-inch needle is designed for efficient fluid aspiration and injection, suitable for a variety of clinical applications.

The disposable nature of the syringe ensures sterility for each use, mitigating the risk of cross-contamination and infection. The clear graduations on the barrel facilitate accurate dosage measurement, a critical aspect in medication administration and fluid management. The robust construction from high-quality materials contributes to its reliability and performance in demanding healthcare environments.

This product is utilized by a range of medical professionals, including nurses, physicians, phlebotomists, and other healthcare providers in various clinical settings. It is also relevant for use by caregivers administering treatments to patients at home under medical supervision. Patients may encounter this device during prescribed medical treatments.

Its applications are diverse, encompassing the administration of injectable medications, the aspiration of bodily fluids for diagnostic testing, the irrigation of wounds, and the withdrawal of medication from vials or ampoules. It is also used in laboratory settings for sample collection and processing.

When using the BD Discardit Syringe 20ml, it is imperative to follow standard aseptic techniques to maintain sterility. Ensure the needle is properly seated and the plunger moves smoothly before use. Dispose of the syringe and needle immediately after use in an appropriate sharps container to prevent needlestick injuries and environmental contamination.

Avoid re-capping the needle. Storage should be in a cool, dry environment, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of the materials and ensure sterility until the point of use. Always check the expiration date before use.
