• Single-Use and Reusable Options: The syringe offers both single-use (sterile and nonsterile) and reusable variants. Reusable syringes can be safely cleaned and reused for a limited period, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Material and Design

• Construction: Made from medical-grade polypropylene with a gasket of silicone or polyisoprene synthetic rubber, the syringe is free from natural rubber latex, BPA, DEHP, and PVC, ensuring biocompatibility and safety.

• Markings: It features clear, easy-to-read gradient markings in non-toxic ink for accurate dosing.

• Accessories: Includes tip caps, bottle adapters, and medicine straws, enhancing its functionality and compatibility with existing systems.
