BD™ Safety-Engineered Syringes


 

BD offers safety-engineered insulin syringes in two different designs:
BD SafetyGlide™ and BD Safety-Lok™.


Safety-engineered syringes are primarily designed to protect health care professionals and other caretakers from accidental needlesticks and other sharps injuries.

The sliding safety arm of the BD SafetyGlide™ syringe can be activated with one hand, while the BD Safety-Lok™ syringe requires two hands to activate the sliding safety sleeve.

The BD SafetyGlide™ syringe is available in 1ml, ½ ml and 3/10 ml sizes. Safety syringes are individually wrapped in boxes of 100. To ensure maximum safety and comfort, you should never use a syringe more than once. For more details, read about the risks of needle reuse.
