Oral Syringes, Luer Lock & Luer Slip Syringes: A comparison

Insulin Syringes have a fixed, permanent needle tip.

Conventional syringes can be luer lock or luer slip connection of the needle to syringe and are used by both medical professionals and consumers requiring their own syringe and needle for independent use.

Oral syringes have a luer slip tip and are useful for oral medications. Luer slip syringes are used by veterinarians to provide oral medications. Oral syringes allow for quick and accurate measuring, by viewing incremental measurements along the syringe barrel. Veterinarians prescribe oral medications accompanied by one oral syringe, intended to be used multiple times. The oral syringe for veterinarian use is most commonly a 1mL luer slip syringe without needle and you may be familiar with this syringe for past veterinarian treatments of your pet. Cheappinz has luer slip syringes in 1mL and luer slip 3mL syringes in stock and available without delay and with no minimum order. All luer slip syringes can be used for oral purposes, but can also be used with a needle tip when necessary.

A luer lock is a secure syringe to needle connection providing a spin on connection that is dependable and not easily detached. This is useful when the attachment needs to have a guarantee the two pieces (the needle and the syringe) will not become unattached during use. Takeaway fact: Luer lock syringe and needles are more dependable than luer slip. A luer slip may detach if the needle tip is no longer firmly pressed down onto the syringe tip.

Where can I buy syringes

Cheappinz is in stock and ships conventional syringes, insulin syringes, needle tips, and similar syringe and needle products daily with tracking numbers to all US locations. During COVID, syringes and needles have been in short supply, which has lead to back orders as well as inferior quality brands being introduced into the US market. Why is this important to consider? Although each syringe brand entering the US must pass a basic quality and safety standard set by the US Government to ensure safe products for all citizens, there is a range of quality available. Some established manufacturers proudly produce and offer the highest quality of syringe and needle, while other new companies are able to offer a lower quality product. Cheappinz only offers the highest quality syringes and is pleased to be a preferred retailer of the Easy Touch syringes, needles, and Insulin syringes. We are always in stock and able to fill small to large syringe orders with daily shipping.

Comparison of syringe to needle attachments

Lets review the common syringe to needle attachment types: fixed needle tip, luer slip & luer lock

A fixed needle means the needle is permanently in place. A fixed needle is attached by a permanent glue approved for medical syringes and this permanent needle attachment will never detach. Each syringe is meant to be a disposable syringe with one use before disposal. What does this mean to the consumer? If a person requires an Insulin Syringe, it will always come with a fixed needle attachment. The syringe and needle are permanently one piece and can not be separated. For a person requiring an insulin syringe for insulin dependent diabetic insulin injections, the syringe needle must first puncture the rubber stopper of the medication vial to access the proper dose of medication prior to use. This means the needle will be slightly dulled by rubber stopper prior to the diabetic individual administering their medication through the insulin syringe into their body as prescribed by their doctor.

Conventional syringes are luer lock or luer slip

A conventional syringe will have a removable needle tip or possibly no needle included. The term syringe typically brings to mind both the syringe and the needle, but to be more accurate, the syringe refers to the barrel of the syringe and the plunger which creates the vacuum to pull up fluid, and force to expel fluid contents. The needle tip is always removable and can be attached to the tip of the syringe. One type of needle attachment is called a luer lock attachment.

A luer lock attachment is similar to a spin on bottle closure. There are threads along the syringe barrel tip which match with the needle tip shape, allowing for a secure, dependable attachment which will not easily come apart. Just as a bottle has a spin on connection that protects the contents and closure from breaking apart, a needle and syringe also has a spin on connection called a luer lock. A luer lock syringe and needle is the most secure, safest closure available and it provides the most dependable syringe to needle attachment. When would a luer lock syringe to needle attachment make the most sense? A luer lock syringe to needle attachment is ideal for any application where the user wants to have a guarantee the two pieces will not come apart easily.

Lets understand how a liquid is drawn up and expelled during syringe use:

When a syringe is in use, pulling back on the plunger creates a vacuum within the syringe barrel, and this allows for contents stored within a vial to be drawn up into the barrel of the syringe. The contents are safely stored within the syringe can then be pushed out through the syringe and needle tip by pressing on the plunger, creating force that will expel the contents as needed. This can be for a scientific, laboratory, or medical purpose alike. As mentioned, when emptying the syringe barrel, there is pressure applied to the plunger, which allows the contents to be emptied from the syringe. When the contents of the syringe have a low viscosity, such as water, the pressure required to empty the syringe is quite low and the process can be completed easily. When the contents of the syringe barrel have a higher viscosity, such as an oil based medication, a higher amount of pressure might be required on the plunger and the luer lock tip would provide the secure connection able to handle this increase in pressure. A luer slip connection might not be able to handle the increase in pressure and the result might be a detachment of the syringe barrel and needle tip during use.

So what is a luer slip connection?

A luer slip is a slip on, press on connection. A luer slip tip of a syringe visually appears cone-like and is a perfect fit for any needle tip on the market. All medical needle manufacturers use the same exact design to allow seamless use of all brands on all syringes available today. So when would a luer slip syringe be used? A luer slip is commonly used by veterinarian offices, and most of us have probably used such a tool while measuring pet medications prescribed by a veterinarian during the care of our pet family members. A luer slip for oral medications is easy to understand. Along the barrel of a luer slip syringe, increments of measure are clearly visible to measure liquids accurately and without skill. A veterinarian will sometimes mark the oral syringe for effortless measuring of liquid medications for your pet, or will clearly instruct the pet owner verbally and in writing on a pet’s discharge instructions what amount should be measured. An oral syringe is a useful tool for veterinarians and pet owners.

Common applications

Insulin syringes are purchased online for convenience by those requiring syringes for the insulin dependent diabetes. We are pleased to offer each size manufactured, and all of our Insulin Syringes are in stock and ready to ship daily without delay.

Conventional syringes or syringe and needle are used for countless medical purposes by both medical professionals as well as consumers requiring their own syringe and needle for independent home treatments prescribed by doctor. A conventional syringe can be either a luer lock or a luer slip connection of the needle to syringe.

Oral syringes have a luer slip tip and are useful for oral medications. Luer slip syringes are used daily by veterinarians providing oral medications for their patients. Oral syringes allow for quick and accurate measuring, by viewing the incremental measurements along the barrel of the syringe. An oral syringe can be rinsed and used more than once for your pet. It is typical that a veterinarian prescription of oral medication will be accompanied by one oral syringe which is intended to be used multiple times for a set number of oral medication for your pet. An oral syringe is available with and without a cap. A cap provides a closure for the oral syringe tip. The oral syringe for veterinarian use is most commonly a 1mL luer slip syringe without needle and you may be familiar with this syringe for past veterinarian treatments of your pet. Cheappinz has luer slip syringes in 1mL and luer slip 3mL syringes in stock and available without delay and with no minimum order. All luer slip syringes can be used for oral purposes, but can also be used with a needle tip when necessary.

A luer lock is a secure syringe to needle connection providing a spin on connection that is dependable and not easily detached. This is useful when the attachment needs to have a guarantee the two pieces (the needle and the syringe) will not become unattached during use. There are countless applications when a needle and syringe luer lock connection would be ideal, and the takeaway fact is a luer lock syringe and needle connection is far more dependable than a luer slip connection. A luer slip connection may detach if the needle tip is no longer firmly pressed down onto the syringe tip.
