What is the primary feature of a Leur-Lok syringe?

The primary feature of a Leur-Lok syringe is that the needles are twisted onto the tip of the syringe. This design allows for a secure connection between the syringe and the needle, minimizing the risk of disconnection during procedures. The threading mechanism of the Leur-Lok connection creates a tight seal, making it suitable for various types of injections, especially in situations where a secure fit is critical to prevent leaks and ensure accurate delivery of medication.

This secure connection is particularly important in clinical settings where the risk of contamination or improper administration can have significant consequences. The twisted design ensures that needles can be easily attached and removed while maintaining a reliable interface between the components. This feature differentiates the Leur-Lok syringe from other syringes that may use different mechanisms for connecting needles.
