Luer Lock (LL) Syringe Needles are a professional-grade series of disposable and reusable cannulas engineered for the South African livestock, equine, and veterinary sectors. Designed with a specialized threaded “screw-on” base, they are the primary choice for operators who require a fail-safe connection that will not pop off under the high pressure of thick, oily injections like Vita AD3E or Up-Cal. These needles are 100% compatible with both disposable plastic Luer Lock syringes and high-durability Nylon Reusable (ELP) syringes, providing a stable, airtight seal that is critical for the accurate dosing of cattle, sheep, and horses.
Key Performance Features
- Positive-Threaded Luer Lock Hub: Features a precision-molded internal thread that “locks” onto the syringe barrel, preventing accidental needle detachment—even if the animal jerks during the injection.
- Ultra-Sharp Tri-Bevel Point: Each needle is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel with a triple-ground bevel, ensuring a clean, rapid penetration that minimizes tissue trauma and pain.
- Color-Coded Hub Identification: Hubs are color-coded according to the international ISO gauge standard (e.g., Green for 21G, Pink for 18G), allowing for instant identification in a busy kraal or clinic.
- Thin-Wall High-Flow Geometry: Engineered with a maximized internal diameter (bore) to facilitate the smooth flow of viscous medications, reducing the hand-pressure required by the operator.
Ideal Applications
- Heavy-Duty Cattle Vaccinations: The industry standard for large-scale herd treatments where a secure, non-popping needle is mandatory for efficiency and safety.
- Equine Intramuscular (IM) Injections: Perfect for administering antibiotics and sedatives to horses, where the secure lock prevents the needle from being left in the muscle if the horse moves.
- Oily Vitamin & Mineral Supplements: Ideal for the slow, high-pressure delivery of thick solutions like Antrovet Vita AD3E or Up-Cal.
- Veterinary Clinical Procedures: A reliable primary needle for drawing blood or administering IV fluids in a sterile hospital environment.
Product Benefits
- Maximum Operator Safety: The screw-on mechanism eliminates the “pop-off” spray-back of medication, protecting the user from accidental exposure to potent drugs.
- Wastage Prevention: The airtight Luer Lock seal ensures that 100% of the medication reaches the animal, preventing the loss of expensive vaccines through the hub.
- Standardized Compatibility: Fits all universal Luer Lock syringes, including Antrovet and Kruuse brands used throughout the Gauteng region.
Pro Tip: To prevent the spread of blood-borne diseases like Anaplasmosis, always use a New, Sterile Needle for every animal. If a needle becomes bent or dull, discard it immediately in a puncture-proof “Sharps Container.” Installation Note: When attaching the needle, twist it firmly until you feel it “seat” into the syringe thread—do not over-tighten, as this can crack the plastic hub or strip the syringe threads.
