Why Luer Lock Connection with 1 mL Capacity for Precision Medical Dosing

Luer Lock syringes feature a threaded tip that allows needles to be twisted and locked securely into place, eliminating the risk of needle disconnection during injection or aspiration—critical for high-pressure applications, viscous medications, or procedures requiring absolute connection security. The 1 mL capacity with fine graduation markings (typically 0.01 mL increments) enables precise measurement of small-volume medications where accuracy is paramount, such as pediatric dosing, insulin administration, intradermal injections, tuberculin testing, and medication compounding. BD's reputation for manufacturing precision ensures consistent barrel dimensions, smooth plunger action, and clear markings that meet USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards for accuracy. The latex-free construction eliminates allergic reaction risks for sensitive patients and healthcare workers, while sterile individual packaging ensures infection control compliance in clinical settings.

Clinical Applications

BD 1 mL Luer Lock syringes are appropriate for:

✓ Subcutaneous medication administration (vaccines, insulin, biologics) ✓ Intramuscular injections requiring small medication volumes ✓ Intradermal injections (tuberculin testing, allergy testing) ✓ Pediatric medication dosing requiring high precision ✓ Vaccine administration (especially pediatric and multi-dose vials) ✓ Insulin administration (with appropriate insulin needles) ✓ IV medication preparation and reconstitution ✓ Drawing blood samples from IV lines or catheters ✓ Medication compounding in pharmacy settings ✓ Laboratory specimen preparation and handling ✓ Veterinary medication administration ✓ Research and laboratory fluid handling ✓ Aspiration procedures requiring secure needle connection ✓ Medication waste removal from multi-dose vials ✓ Home healthcare medication administration ✓ Irrigation of wounds or catheters with precise fluid volumes

Usage & Application

Medication Preparation:

• Verify medication order and patient identity
• Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves
• Inspect syringe package for damage or expiration
• Open sterile package using aseptic technique
• Attach appropriate Luer Lock needle by twisting clockwise until secure

Drawing Medications:

• Clean vial top with alcohol swab and allow to dry
• Draw air equal to medication dose into syringe
• Insert needle into vial and inject air
• Invert vial and withdraw medication slowly
• Remove air bubbles by tapping barrel and expelling air
• Verify exact dose at eye level

Small-Volume Injections:

• Select appropriate injection site based on route
• Clean site with alcohol swab and allow to dry
• Insert needle at correct angle for route (90° IM, 45-90° SubQ, 10-15° intradermal)
• Aspirate if indicated per protocol
• Inject medication slowly and steadily
• Withdraw needle and apply pressure if needed

Flushing Medical Devices:

• Clean device port with alcohol swab
• Attach syringe to port via Luer Lock connection
• Inject flush solution slowly and steadily
• Use push-pause technique for optimal clearing
• Maintain positive pressure while disconnecting

Post-Use:

• Dispose of entire syringe-needle assembly in sharps container immediately
• Never recap needles (needlestick injury risk)
• Remove gloves and perform hand hygiene
• Document medication administration per facility protocol
