1. Capacity: Tuberculin syringes are typically small, with a common capacity of 1 ml. This smaller size allows for the precise administration of small volumes of liquid, which is essential for tuberculin skin testing.
2. Graduations: The barrel of a tuberculin syringe is marked with fine graduations, allowing healthcare professionals to measure and administer very small amounts of medication accurately.
3. Needle: Tuberculin syringes are often equipped with a short, thin needle suitable for subcutaneous injections. This type of injection is commonly used for tuberculin skin tests.
4. Luer Slip or Luer Lock: These syringes may come with a Luer Slip or Luer Lock connection, providing options for different medical settings and preferences.
5. Disposable: Tuberculin syringes, like many medical syringes, are designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infections.
