A new and unique screw type hub manufactured using polycarbonate to reduce the risk of cannula detachment STERiGLIDE™ cannulas are made of the highest quality steel with a proprietary surface treatment. This reduces friction with skin tissue and patient discomfort, and improves the cannula handling. Less Pain and Hemorrhage: Ultra-Thin Wall, neat cutting edge and micro polished surface of the needle leaves less pain, less hemorrhage and less injection mark

Reduces waste disposal - A unique and innovative design allows the BD Emerald™ syringe to optimize the use of material, which results in up to 30% less weight than other syringes. General-purpose syringes comprise a barrel, a plunger, and a terminal fitting for needles or other attachments. Two-part syringes have an integral barrel and terminal fitting, with a separate plunger. Three-part syringes have a plunger fitted with a separate rubber piston at the end. Plastic general-purpose syringes are made from polypropylene or polyethylene and are often single-use and disposable. Syringes with glass barrels frequently have metal plungers and terminal fittings, so tend to offer better overall chemical resistance and durability. Small-to-midsize hospital remote staffing support Small-to-midsize hospital remote staffing support Excellent for HPLC/GC solvent filtration. Ideal for sterile venting of air or other gases during filtrationLong-distance transportation and fuel use are reduced because of BD's worldwide manufacturing network Enables risk mitigation and robust clinical governance for the safe handling and administration of drugs Sterilizing Gases, vacuum line protection, venting sterile containers, sterilizing and clarifying organic solutions

The BD Emerald™ syringe for general purpose use complies with international performance standards - CE marked, ISO 7886-1 and ISO 549 compliant. In addition, BD Emerald™ syringes must meet over 40 specific criteria before they are qualified for use.

Practitioners can see and feel the end of the cannula tip. Delivery of filler near the end of the tip creates a more accurate sense of filler placement. It also reduces product loss in the tip ending. SOL-M™ Blunt Fill Needles with filter features a 5 micron filter membrane that is designed to prevent larger particles being drawn into the syringe when preparing medications from Ampoules.

These containers are for disposal by incineration or other authorised process and are designed for the consignment of waste categorised by the following EWC (European Waste Catalogue) codes: 18 01 01, 18 01 03, 18 01 09, 18 02 01, 18 02 02, 18 02 08.
