Disposable Sterile Tuberculin Bacilluus Syringe(BCG) 1ml With Needle
Disposable sterile tuberculin bacillus syringes, commonly referred to as BCG syringes, are medical devices used for administering the BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine. The BCG vaccine is primarily used for tuberculosis (TB) prevention, especially in countries with a high prevalence of the disease.
BCG syringes typically have a capacity of 1 milliliter (ml) and come with an attached needle. The syringe is designed to accurately measure and deliver the required dosage of the BCG vaccine. The needle is usually thin and short, suitable for subcutaneous injection, which involves injecting the vaccine just beneath the skin.
These syringes are manufactured and packaged in a sterile manner to ensure patient safety and prevent contamination. The sterile packaging helps maintain the integrity of the vaccine and reduces the risk of infection during the injection process.
Sterility: These syringes are manufactured and packaged in a sterile manner to ensure that they are free from any microorganisms or contaminants. This helps prevent infections and ensures patient safety during the vaccination process.
Accurate Measurement: The syringe is designed to accurately measure and deliver the required dosage of the BCG vaccine. The 1ml capacity allows for precise measurement of small volumes necessary for tuberculin testing or BCG vaccination.
Needle Compatibility: The syringe comes with an attached needle that is suitable for subcutaneous injections. The needle is typically thin and short, ensuring patient comfort during the injection process.
Single-Use: These syringes are intended for single-use only. Once the syringe and needle have been used, they should be disposed of properly to prevent cross-contamination and ensure hygiene.
Individually Packaged: BCG syringes are often individually packaged to maintain their sterility until they are ready to be used. The individual packaging helps protect the syringe from external contaminants and ensures that each syringe is safe and sterile.
Vaccine Administration: These syringes are specifically designed for administering the BCG vaccine, which is primarily used for tuberculosis prevention. The syringe and needle are suitable for subcutaneous injections, delivering the vaccine just beneath the skin.
Remember to always follow the appropriate medical guidelines and consult a healthcare professional when using these syringes or administering vaccines.
What was the BCG needle for?
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is given to new born babies at risk of getting tuberculosis (TB). TB is a very serious infectious disease that can cause TB meningitis in babies.
Why is BCG not given anymore?
Vaccination of all children aged 10-14 continued until 2005, when it was decided that TB rates in the general population had fallen to such a low level that universal BCG vaccination was no longer needed.
