0.5ml ,1ml Tuberculin Bacilluus Syringe (BCG) Disposable Sterile Syringe
Tuberculin syringes are specialized types of syringes designed for administering small volumes of medication, typically in the range of 0.5 ml to 1 ml. These syringes are commonly used for administering tuberculin skin tests or for delivering very small doses of medication, such as BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine. Here are some features of 0.5ml and 1ml Tuberculin syringes:
1. Capacity:
- Tuberculin syringes are available in different capacities, including 0.5 ml and 1 ml. The selection of the syringe size depends on the specific requirements of the medical procedure.
2. Tuberculin or Graduated Scale:
- Tuberculin syringes have a fine, precise scale graduated in increments of 0.01 ml or smaller. This allows for accurate measurement and administration of small volumes of medication.
3. Disposable:
- Like many medical syringes, tuberculin syringes are designed for single-use and should be discarded after use to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety.
4. Sterile:
- Tuberculin syringes are sterile to maintain aseptic conditions during medical procedures and to prevent the introduction of microorganisms.
5. Needle Compatibility:
- Tuberculin syringes can be paired with needles suitable for subcutaneous injections, such as those used for tuberculin skin tests or other medications requiring small volumes.
6. Accuracy:
- These syringes are manufactured with precision to ensure accurate dosage measurement, which is crucial when dealing with small volumes of medication.
7. BCG Administration:
- Tuberculin syringes are commonly used for administering the BCG vaccine, which is used to protect against tuberculosis. The small volumes provided by these syringes are suitable for intradermal injections commonly used in tuberculin skin tests.
Always follow proper medical protocols and guidelines when using tuberculin syringes and administering vaccinations or tests. It's important to use the correct syringe size and needle for the specific medical procedure, and proper disposal procedures should be followed after use.

What syringe is used for BCG vaccine?
Currently, the BCG vaccine is administered to newborns or neonates by intradermal injection as per the recommendations of the WHO using a 1 ml tuberculin syringe attached to a 26 or 25-gauge, ½-inch hypodermic needle. This method is widely accepted and available for precise dose control.
What is a 1 mL tuberculin syringe used for?
A 1 mL tuberculin syringe is specifically designed for the administration of small volumes of medications, typically ranging from 0.1 mL to 1 mL. It is commonly used for intradermal injections, including tuberculin skin tests and the administration of small doses of vaccines or other medications.
