Frequently Asked Questions
What BD syringe ranges are available, and how do I know which to choose?
▼
Our collection includes BD Plastipak (luer lock and luer slip, available needle-free), BD Emerald (luer slip, general purpose), BD Discardit (luer slip, available with pre-attached needle), and BD Microfine (fixed needle, for precise small-volume applications). Choose based on tip type needed, whether you require a pre-attached needle, and the clinical context. The Plastipak is a strong all-round option where a secure luer lock connection is required, while the Emerald suits general purpose use. Catheter tip options are also available within the Plastipak range.
Are BD syringes in this collection single-use only?
▼
Yes. All BD syringes in this collection are single-use, sterile products and should be disposed of safely after use in accordance with your facility's sharps waste policy. They are not designed or intended for reuse.
Are these syringes latex-free?
▼
The BD Plastipak and BD Emerald syringes have latex-free stoppers that eliminate the risk of allergic reactions. This is consistent across the range, though we recommend checking individual product listings to confirm for any specific syringe.
