Sterile Hypodermic Syringe (50 ML)

A 50 mL sterile hypodermic syringe is a maximum-capacity clinical device engineered for single-use medical, laboratory, and veterinary applications. It is primarily utilized for automated syringe infusion pumps, large-volume fluid aspiration, post-operative wound irrigation, and enteral tube feeding.

Key Technical Specifications

Nominal Capacity: 50 milliliters (often engineered with extended safety markings up to 60 mL).

Graduation Scale: Bold, high-contrast markings at 1.0 mL intervals to ensure precise volume assessment over large transfers.

Material Composition: The highly transparent barrel and structural plunger are molded from non-toxic, medical-grade virgin polypropylene.

Sterilization Standard: Individually blister-wrapped and treated with Ethylene Oxide (ETO) gas or Gamma radiation to guarantee a 100% pyrogen-free fluid pathway.

Latex-Free Engineering: Modern variants feature an inert thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or synthetic rubber gasket treated with medical-grade silicone for a smooth, low-friction glide without fluid backflow.

Tip Configurations & Target Applications

Unlike smaller syringes, 50 mL models feature specialized tip designs tailored to specific clinical tasks:

BD Plastipak™ Luer Lock Tip: Features a threaded, twist-on secure mechanism. This is critical for automated syringe infusion pumps to safely deliver intensive care medications under pressure without accidental disconnection.

Eccentric Luer Slip / Mount: The nozzle is positioned off-center (eccentric) parallel to the barrel. This design minimizes the injection angle, making it ideal for venipuncture, large-volume blood sampling, or direct IV line push.

Dispovan Catheter Tip: A long, tapered, wide nozzle designed specifically to fit snugly into medical tubing, feeding tubes, and urinary catheters. It is widely used for wound washing, gastric irrigation, and tube feeding.
