These are the most common type of disposable syringes, known as three-part. Typically, when someone asks for a disposable syringe, they are requesting this type of syringe. Alternatively, these syringes may be referred to as regular, conventional, standard, or RTP for rubber tip plunger syringes. These syringes are popular for their smooth gliding motion, low cost, and wide variety of functions.
The rubber gasket on the tip plunger acts as a sealant against the barrel and creates a vacuum for drawing material into the syringe. To prevent the sticking of the rubber against the solid material of the barrel, a manufacturer sprays the lubricant into the barrel during the assembly of three-part syringes.
While standard three-part syringes are used for a much wider range of applications, two-part syringes offer distinct advantages for some applications. To circumvent the need for an added lubricant, two-part syringes known as Norm-Ject or Henke-Ject utilize a precisely engineered, slightly oversized plunger head that expands the barrel to create the vacuum.
You must also think about how much body fat the needle has to go through. A thin person might be able to use an inch-long needle. Someone heavier might need a needle that is an inch-and-a-half-long.
If you have to give injections to yourself or someone else at home, understanding needle and syringe sizes can make that job a little easier. Syringes can hold liquids or solids.
You'll see milliliters mL marked on the tube for measuring liquids. You'll see cubic centimeters cc for measuring solids. Try to choose a syringe that holds the exact dose you need. Needles are measured a different way. The first number on a needle label is its gauge.
That's how thick the needle is. Higher numbers mean thinner needles. The second number on the label is how long the needle is.
You'll need a longer needle if the medication is supposed to go into a muscle. You'll also need a longer needle for larger adults. If you need to give yourself or someone else shots at home, you or a family member will need to learn how to do so safely. If you have questions, reach out to the healthcare provider who prescribed the medication. Knowing the basics of needle size labeling will help you avoid making errors when you're giving the shot and replacing your supplies.
