BD 309659 - Tuberculin Syringe 1cc Low Dead Space, Sterile Single-Use, 200/BX 1600/CA
The BD 309659 Tuberculin Syringe 1cc Low Dead Space is a precision-engineered, sterile, single-use syringe designed for accurate measurement and administration of small-volume injectable medications. With a total capacity of 1cc (1 mL), this tuberculin syringe is commonly used for intradermal and subcutaneous injections where precise dosing is critical.
The low dead space design minimizes residual medication left within the syringe hub after injection. This feature supports dose accuracy and reduces medication waste, making it particularly valuable in settings where high-cost or limited-availability drugs are administered. The clearly marked barrel allows for accurate measurement in small increments, supporting safe and consistent clinical practice.
Manufactured by BD, a globally recognized leader in injection and infusion technology, the 309659 syringe is built to meet the performance expectations of hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and vaccination programs.
Key Benefits
The 1cc capacity provides accurate measurement for small-dose injections, including tuberculin testing and other diagnostic or therapeutic applications. Clear and easy-to-read graduations help reduce dosing errors and improve clinician confidence.
The low dead space configuration reduces residual medication waste after injection. This supports cost efficiency and enhances dose precision, particularly when administering vaccines, biologics, or specialty medications.
The sterile, single-use design minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and supports infection control protocols. Each syringe is individually packaged to preserve sterility until point of use.
The smooth plunger movement allows for controlled administration, supporting patient comfort and precise delivery. The compact design also enables ease of handling in fast-paced clinical environments.
