What is a luer lock syringe?

A luer lock syringe is a type of syringe that consists of a barrel, a plunger, and a needle. It is distinguished by its locking mechanism, which ensures the secure attachment of the needle to the syringe. The syringe's tip has threads that securely attach to the corresponding thread in the needle hub to prevent accidental needle dislodgement.

Luer lock syringes are used in medicine for various purposes, including the injection of medication, withdrawal of fluids, and blood collection. The syringe is available in different sizes, ranging from 1ml to 100ml.

The luer lock mechanism is safer than other types of syringes because it minimizes the possibility of leakage and accidental needle dislodge, and the risk of contamination. Luer lock syringes are typically used in medical procedures that involve injecting or aspirating medications, vaccines, blood, and other fluids into a patient's body.
