Syringes and Needles

Birth International provides essential Syringes and Needles for midwifery, crucial for epidurals, labour pain relief, and various childbirth procedures. Hence, we have included them in our midwifery supplies.

Luer Lock syringes have a threaded tip at the nozzle. This ensures easy and secure attachment of needles or devices to syringes. To attach the needle, twist it onto the syringe until it locks.

  • Ease of Use: The Luer Lock features a threaded design for a secure connection. This design minimises the risk of the needle detaching during medical procedures. Exercise caution with high-pressure injections.

Luer Slip syringes have a smooth, tapered tip on the syringe’s nozzle. Attach the needle to the syringe by pushing it on until it stays in place due to friction. There are no threads involved in the connection.

  • Ease of Use: Luer Slip syringes are quick and easy to use, as the needle slides onto the syringe without twisting. But the connection is not as secure as Luer Lock.

Options depend on procedure, security needs, and healthcare pro’s preference. The clear printing on these syringes guarantees precise dosage control. Incorporating a plunger stop prevents accidental removal, improving safety. These syringes are now latex-free, which is good news for people with latex allergies.

Terumo needles are sterile and ultra-sharp, explicitly designed for single use. Consequently, they ensure precise and comfortable medical procedures. Notably, the needles maintain sterility and are designated for single use only, emphasising their safety and reliability.

The sharps container is ideal for disposing of used syringes and needles. It is suitable for midwives on the go. This Australian-made container holds biohazards and meets industry standards. The funnel-top lid simplifies disposal. Additionally, the needle de-notching feature enhances safety during disposal.
