The Kid-man dicoTUBER is a high-precision 1 ml tuberculin syringe designed for accurate intradermal administration of medications and liquids. Constructed from medical-grade, transparent polypropylene, this single-use device features a clear barrel that allows for easy monitoring of the contents. It is equipped with a 0.45 x 13 mm needle and a rubber-sealed plunger, ensuring smooth operation and reliable performance during medical procedures.
Advantages
This syringe offers exceptional dosing accuracy due to its permanent, highly legible 0.01 ml graduation scale. The specialized design of the plunger stopper significantly reduces residual volume, ensuring that the full dose of the medication is delivered. Safety is prioritized through the inclusion of a limitation flange that prevents the plunger from being accidentally removed during use. Furthermore, the device is manufactured without the use of latex or phthalates, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities, while the ethylene oxide sterilization process guarantees a sterile, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic product.
