Frequently asked questions
What sizes and materials are available?
The B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringe is available in various configurations to meet clinical needs, utilizing both glass and specialized plastic materials. These options ensure the required smooth, low-friction plunger action necessary for consistent tactile feedback during epidural procedures.
Available Capacities and Materials
- 5 mL: Available in Glass (with Metal Tip)
- 8 mL: Available in Plastic (PERIFIX)
- 10 mL: Available in Glass (with Metal Tip)
All variants are offered with either Luer Slip or Luer Lock connection types, and importantly, the components are manufactured without DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber.
Are B. Braun syringes made with safe materials?
Yes, B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringes are engineered with a strong emphasis on clinical safety. The components of these syringes are entirely free of the following materials:
- Natural rubber
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- DEHP (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate)
These syringes are provided sterile, ensuring they are ready for use in professional epidural anesthesia procedures, and they feature a 60-month shelf life to maintain clinical readiness.
Is this syringe specialized for epidural procedures?
Yes, this B. Braun syringe is specifically designed for use in epidural procedures.
It is engineered to facilitate the Loss-of-Resistance Technique, featuring smooth, low-friction plunger action that provides the consistent and reproducible tactile feedback essential for clinicians performing this procedure.
Does the syringe ensure consistent tactile feedback?
Yes, the B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringe is specifically engineered for optimal performance in epidural procedures. It features a plunger mechanism designed for exceptionally smooth, low-friction action, which provides the consistent and reproducible tactile feedback that is crucial for successfully performing the loss-of-resistance technique.
What connection types are offered?
The B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringe offers versatile connection options to ensure compatibility across different procedural setups for epidural use. You can select from the following standard configurations:
- Luer Slip: Available across all material and capacity variants (5 mL Glass, 10 mL Glass, and 8 mL PERIFIX Plastic).
- Luer Lock: Available across all material and capacity variants (5 mL Glass, 10 mL Glass, and 8 mL PERIFIX Plastic).
Note: The glass variants feature a durable metal tip for the connection.
Are the loss-of-resistance syringes sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringes are supplied sterile and are guaranteed to be Factory New. This ensures they are immediately ready for use in critical epidural procedures. The syringes also feature a long 60-month shelf life.
Are B. Braun syringes free of DEHP, natural rubber, and PVC?
Yes, B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringes are designed with safety in mind. Their components do not contain DEHP, natural rubber, or PVC.
Does the syringe feature smooth, low-friction plunger action?
Yes, the B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringe is specifically engineered for precision during critical epidural procedures. Its design ensures reliable operation by focusing on two key aspects:
- Smooth Plunger Action: The mechanism provides an exceptionally smooth, low-friction movement.
- Consistent Tactile Feedback: This results in a consistent and reproducible feel, which is crucial for accurately performing the loss-of-resistance technique.
How many syringes are included per case?
The B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringes are supplied in two different case quantities, depending on the specific syringe configuration you select (such as capacity and barrel material).
Available case sizes are:
- 10 Units per Case
- 50 Units per Case
All units are guaranteed to be supplied sterile and feature a long 60-month shelf life.
Which syringes feature a durable metal tip?
The presence of a durable metal tip depends on the specific syringe material selected:
- Glass Syringes (5 mL and 10 mL): Yes, these configurations utilize a metallic Luer fitting (for both Luer Lock and Luer Slip connections) which provides enhanced durability.
- Plastic Syringes (8 mL PERIFIX): These variants use a standard plastic Luer tip assembly.
While the tip material varies, all B. Braun Loss-of-Resistance Syringes are engineered with an optimized, low-friction plunger action. This feature ensures the consistent and reproducible tactile feedback essential for the precise loss-of-resistance technique during epidural procedures.
