Luer Lock Tip

Syringes with Luer Lock tip are designed to prevent disconnections,^3,4 medication spills³ and/or air entry.³ The Luer-Lok Tip™ Syringe provides a secure connection to help drive better outcomes.

Concentric Luer-Slip Tip™

The concentric luer slip tip provides a friction-fit connection that requires you to push and twist the syringe tip into the needle hub.

Eccentric Luer-Slip Tip™

The eccentric luer slip tip allows for lower angle of injection in closer proximity to the skin.

Catheter Tip

The catheter tip is used for flushing catheters, gastostomy tubes and other devices.
