Which syringe type is specifically designed to prevent needle disengagement during administration?

The Luer lock syringe is specifically designed to prevent needle disengagement during the administration of medication. This design features a threaded locking mechanism that securely connects the needle to the syringe. When the needle is twisted onto the syringe, it locks in place, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection while administering the medication. This is particularly crucial in sterile compounding and during injections, as maintaining the integrity of the medication pathway is essential for patient safety and efficacy.

In contrast, the slip tip syringe relies on friction to hold the needle in place, which can increase the chance of the needle becoming dislodged during use. Other syringe types, like the Aerogen, are specialized for particular applications, such as aerosolized delivery, but do not address the need for secure needle attachment in the same way that a Luer lock does. Thus, when it comes to preventing needle disengagement, the Luer lock syringe is the optimal choice.
