The BD Integra Syringe is a type of syringe used to administer subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. It is composed of a 3 mL plastic syringe with a retractable needle. The syringe has a clear barrel with markings to show the amount of medication being drawn up and injected.
The needle used with this syringe is a 23 gauge and is 1 inch in length. The gauge refers to the thickness of the needle and is significant because it determines the size of the injection and the flow of medication. Generally, the lower the gauge number, the bigger the needle. The 1-inch length is optimal for injecting medication into muscles or fatty tissues.
The PrecisionGlide technology of the needle allows for smooth and quick insertion into the skin without causing excessive pain or trauma. The needle is also designed to reduce the risk of needle-stick injuries as it is retractable, meaning that it can be pulled back into the syringe barrel after use. This also helps with the disposal of the syringe, making it a safer option for healthcare workers.
To use the BD 23 gauge x 1" Integra Syringe, the user would attach the preferred needle to the syringe, draw up the prescribed amount of medication, and then administer the medication by injecting it into the selected site on the body. After use, the needle can be retracted into the syringe barrel by pressing down on the plunger, making it safer to handle and dispose of. This process also helps to prevent the contamination of the syringe.
Overall, the BD 23 gauge x 1" Integra Syringe with a retractable PrecisionGlide needle is a safe and effective tool for administering subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. Its features help to make the injection experience more comfortable for the patient and safer for the healthcare provider.
