Luer-Lock barrels: choose the needle for the job

A syringe barrel without a needle is the flexible half of a syringe: you thread on the needle, blunt tip or tubing the task needs. EasyTouch Luer-Lock barrels come in 1 mL and 3 mL in boxes of 100, 20 mL in a pack of 48 and 60 mL in a pack of 40. Each barrel is ultra-clear with well-defined markings in milliliters, has an extended gasket for minimal dead space, and is individually wrapped for single use.

Luer-Lock means the tip is threaded: a needle or connector twists on and stays put under pressure, which matters when you draw a thick liquid or push fluid through tubing. Luer-Slip needles also fit, held by friction instead of thread. These barrels are graduated in mL, not in insulin units, so they are not a substitute for insulin syringes.

EasyTouch blunt needles are 18 gauge fill needles with a blunt tip, in 1 inch and 1.5 inch lengths. The blunt point pierces vial stoppers with reduced rubber fragmentation and cuts the risk of accidental needlesticks while drawing up or dispensing. A color-coded hub and a distinctive cover identify the size at a glance.

Draw with blunt, inject with sharp

In clinics, a common routine is to draw medication from a vial with a blunt fill needle, then swap to a fresh sharp needle for the injection. The blunt tip protects your fingers and the stopper; the fresh needle is sharp and sterile for the patient. Dispose of every needle in a sharps container.

EasyTouch quality beyond diabetic supplies

EasyTouch is best known for diabetic supplies such as insulin syringes, lancets and test strips, and the Luer-Lock range brings the same medical-grade quality to general syringe work. MHC Medical Products manufactures the barrels to be ultra-clear with secure, threaded connections, and the blunt needles add safety for people who draw from vials every day, from caregivers to pharmacies.

Prices are kept affordable compared with typical retail for medical supplies, and every barrel and needle is individually wrapped.

Barrels, needles and diabetes management

A Luer-Lock barrel is not an insulin syringe: insulin syringes are marked in units and come with a fixed needle, while these barrels are marked in mL and take any needle you choose. People who need insulin syringes or U-100 syringes for diabetes management should use the matching product; the barrels and blunt needles are designed for measured liquids, vial transfer and feeding. Each needle hub is color coded by gauge so the right size is easy to verify at a glance, and the threaded connection keeps it secure during fast or high-pressure work.
