Product Description:

Disposable Syringe (Sure Guard) 23g x 1" (0.6 x 25mm) 5CC 100's are high-quality, single-use syringes designed for precise, safe, and hygienic medication administration. These syringes are equipped with a 23-gauge needle that is 1 inch (0.6 x 25mm) in length, making them ideal for intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) injections requiring medium to larger volumes of medication. With a capacity of 5cc (5ml), these syringes are perfect for administering larger doses of injectable medications.

The syringes come pre-sterilized in packs of 100, ensuring safety and convenience for medical professionals. The clear barrel allows for easy measurement of medication, while the smooth plunger ensures comfortable and precise operation. The protective needle shield enhances safety and minimizes the risk of needle-stick injuries.

Indications:

• General Injection Use: Suitable for intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) injections that require larger volumes of medication (up to 5cc).

• Vaccination: Useful for administering vaccines, particularly those requiring a higher volume.

• Medication Administration: Ideal for injectable medications, such as hormones, pain management drugs, or vaccines, that need a 5cc capacity.

• Insulin or Other Hormone Injections: Can be used for certain insulin or hormone therapies, especially for larger doses.

• Fluid Therapy: Suitable for fluid administration for patients requiring larger volume injections.

Dosage and Administration:

• Dosage: The appropriate dosage depends on the specific medication being administered. This syringe has a capacity of 5cc (5ml), so it should be used for doses within this volume.

• Administration:

  1. Preparation: Attach the 23-gauge needle to the syringe and draw the prescribed amount of medication into the syringe by pulling back the plunger.

  2. Injection:

     • For intramuscular (IM) injections, select a large muscle (e.g., the gluteal or deltoid muscle). Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle and administer the injection slowly.

     • For subcutaneous (SC) injections, choose fatty tissue areas (e.g., abdomen, outer thigh) and inject at a 45-degree angle.

  3. Post-injection: Dispose of the syringe and needle in a proper sharps container immediately after use.

Side Effects:

While the syringe itself does not directly cause side effects, improper use or handling can lead to:

• Injection Site Reactions: Redness, swelling, pain, bruising, or irritation at the injection site.

• Needle-related Injuries: Accidental needle sticks or improper handling can cause infection or injury.

• Infections: If proper sterilization and aseptic technique are not followed, there is a risk of infection at the injection site.

• Hematoma: Injury to blood vessels may cause bruising or swelling under the skin.

Contraindications:

• Allergic Reactions: Do not use if the patient is allergic to any materials used in the syringe or needle (e.g., latex or specific plastics). Ensure that the syringe is compatible with the patient's known allergies.

• Reusing Syringes: These syringes are designed for single-use only. Reusing them can lead to contamination, infection, or inaccurate medication delivery.

• Injection into Damaged or Inflamed Skin: Avoid using the syringe for injections into areas with broken, infected, or inflamed skin.

• Improper Use: Do not use for purposes other than intended (e.g., for IV injections or for injecting incompatible substances).

• Improper Technique: Ensure that only trained healthcare professionals administer injections to avoid risks like accidental nerve injury, blood vessel puncture, or tissue damage.

Storage:

• Storage Conditions: Store syringes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• Packaging Integrity: Ensure the packaging is intact before use. Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged or compromised.

• Expiration: Use before the expiration date printed on the packaging. Do not use expired syringes.
