Sterile Hypodermic Syringe (2 ML)

A 2 mL sterile hypodermic syringe is a high-precision medical device engineered for the single-use administration of medications, vaccines, or fluid aspiration. It features a nominal capacity of 2 milliliters, serving as a standard volume for precise clinical dosing in both adult and pediatric care.

Key Technical Specifications

Material Composition: The transparent barrel and plunger are molded from medical-grade, non-toxic virgin polypropylene. The gasket is typically made of a medication-compatible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or synthetic rubber to ensure a leak-proof, low-friction glide.

Sterilization Process: Every individual unit is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (ETO) gas or Gamma radiation to ensure it is 100% pyrogen-free and safe against cross-contamination.

Tip Configuration: Available in either a Luer Lock variant (secure, twist-on needle attachment preventing accidental detachment) or a Luer Slip variant (quick push-on mechanism).

Graduation Markings: Features bold, prominent, and abrasion-resistant graduation scales to prevent any medication dosage errors.

Structure and Components

A standard 2 mL hypodermic syringe follows a three-piece design:

The Barrel: Highly translucent cylinder that allows clear visual inspection of fluids and air bubbles.

The Plunger & Gasket: The inner rod with an inert rubber piston that creates a hermetic seal to push out fluids smoothly without backflow.

The Hypodermic Needle (Optional): Often supplied with an ultra-sharp, triple-facetted beveled stainless steel needle. Standard kits commonly pair the 2 mL barrel with 22G to 24G needles, though compatible gauge variations range from 16G (thick fluids) up to 26G (subcutaneous injections)
