1 Safe Medication Disposable Syringes

2 Disposable Syringes Safe Medication Safety, reliability, and accuracy down to the smallest detail as with all other CODAN products, this commitment also holds true for our broad range of disposable syringes. Whilst millions of these products are used routinely each day, they in fact are precision instruments and without their reliable operation efficient and safe patient care would be the exception rather the rule. And this is precisely the reason why they are subject to the same rigorous quality standards. Safety in Perfection Three Is Better Than Two CODAN manufactures three-part disposable syringes only. They comprise the cylinder, piston, and a thin silicone ring mounted separately and acting as a sliding seal. This design is substantially more complex than that of regular two-part syringes but without it, the accuracy and smooth operation required for fast and safe handling in routine clinical practice could never be met. Silicone Ring: Small Is Light The exceptionally thin silicone ring in CODAN disposable syringes virtually guarantees a particularly smooth operation. This is particularly advantageous for operation in syringe pumps. At the same time this design minimizes the contact area between the silicone and the solution and thus significantly reduces particulate contamination. Piston Guidance: Quadruple Stability The design of the piston with its four wings provides complete stability even if the syringe is filled to its maximum.

3 Accurate Scale The easy-to-read accurate scale printed on both sides of the syringe facilitates reliable dosing of the fluid under all handling conditions. Reliable Piston Stop The integral piston stop effectively prevents inadvertent extraction of the piston and thus increases handling safety. Latex-Free and Non-Polluting Materials The materials employed by CODAN are latex-free and chemically inert. Apart from the conventional transparent materials, light-proof syringes and color-coded pistons are also available. All plastics employed in the manufacturing process are particularly compatible with the environment and easily disposable! Total Connectivity The disposable syringes by CODAN are available with all common connectors (see table). If needed, custom-built models may be also be ordered. Luer-Lock (positive) for safe use with all standard tubing. Luer positive connector: the proven standard in centric configurations. Luer-Lock (negative), e.g., for use with special tubes for enteral feeding. Luer positive connector: the proven standard in eccentric configurations. Stepped conical connector for use with catheters for irrigation, medication, and enteral nutrition. Oral cone: unmistakable connector for oral drug administration. ONCE INJECT Patented Syringe Technology For More Safety The patented CODAN ONCE INJECT injection syringe is used just like a normal standard syringe in i.v., s.c., and i.m. injections. Its small volume of just 0.5 ml ensures truly easy handling. After drawing the medication and the skin puncture, the piston will separate from the silicone stopper automatically and permanently once the piston is plunged. After the application the piston head will remain at the end of the cylinder, thereby rendering any re-use of the syringe impossible.

4 Pump Applications Naturally, our disposable syringes are the perfect choice for the CODAN ARGUS syringe pumps. For the ml CODAN with the Luer-Lock connector, to be used with the pumps, their calibrated profiles have already been programmed into the syringe pumps, thereby ensuring rapid and safe patient care. Needlefree Applications All disposable syringes by CODAN with Luer / Luer-Lock connector are the perfect choice for applications with needlefree systems. One extremely easy-to-handle and safe system for all types of applications is the patented CODAN SWAN-LOCK connector.
