5 x Monoject Curved 412 Tip Syringes 12 Cc , 5pcs - Tyco/healthcare- Kendal

When first tried it, it squirted sideways. Huh! THE TIP IS TINY * 2mm OD and 1mm ID*, I didn't notice a burr on the tip that blocked the end. I carefully trimmed off the tip about 2 mm back with a good scissors and I was good to go. After I trimmed the tip and put water in the reservoir, it ran out the bottom. I had to put my finger tip on the tip to block the hole, then put some water in the syringe. I then place the plunger lightly in the syringe and turned the unit so the tip was upwards. I slowly pressed the plunger to vacate some air and turn the syringe so the tip was down. No water leaked because of the vacuum created by the plunger. It acted like a pipet would. I needed this syringe to get into a tight spot with some bleach and this did the job. The tip, 2 cm from the base, curves off to a 60° angle. BTW, I immediately rinsed out the syringe to avoid the bleach from possibly degrading the plunger. And brother, does it squirt out a strong stream. I was impressed. Update: 2/7/2015. WELL, what a dunce! I just realized that the syringe can be fully assembled and with the plunger all the way in, you can dip it in water or some other fluid and pull the plunger back sucking the fluid up the chamber through the tip. No muss, no fuss. Super easy and a great tool. Sorry for being dopey.

My dentist recommended these syringes to me years ago, and they are great.

Great syringes. I've used these for years and 5 of these for the price is a great buy. My first use like many, was after wisdom tooth extraction. But of course there's thousands of other uses for them. From hobby/craft applications to mixing up your favorite hard fruit to bleeding brakes, these can be used for many different things. One thing to keep in mind is that some substances will either bond with or break down the rubber plunger, so you might get one use out of a syringe before it has to be trashed. One way to extend the life of the syringes is to pull the plunger back before you draw any liquid, or use a tube on the end of the syringe to siphon. Cleaning... They're not sterile, if you need something sterile, you need a different syringe. But, keeping them clean for oral hygene is a simple matter of mouthwash, salt water or hydrogen peroxide. I woudn't use alchohol to clean them, the alcohol can break down the plunger I've found. But they're so inexpensive, if I had to worry about getting one really clean, I'd toss it into the recycling and buy some more.

These are excellent, much cheaper purchased here than other places I looked at. I got a 5 pack and am still using the first one. It hasn't worn down or broken down at all. These are great for tonsil stones or to help clear food or plaque from between teeth. Sometimes I put a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide and water in it and squeeze it between my teeth to really clean everything out. If you have tonsil stones these are amazing. Get a low-powered small flashlight (too bright and it's hard to see) and flush out those holes in the back of your throat with warm water. If these syringes were longer they might be easier to use but I have no trouble using them as is.

Haven't been able to use these really for any length of time. We seem to have smooth suction and irrigate easily and appropriately. Although in the photo the very last monoject is my Mana jacked that I've had and is a true monoject syringe. It is what I thought I was ordering in the picture. I haven't been in the medical field for a few years so I don't know if monoject has changed what their syringes look like. These don't have the little r on them like the true monoject syringe has. I'm assuming they are copycats. They seem to work well enough though. I have not expose them to heat, such as autoclaving or boiling, to see if they hold up which a monoject syringe would.

These syringes are very well made. I'm using them for applying glue in tight spaces and they're perfect for my needs.

My dentist gave me one of these after my wisdom teeth to irrigate (clean) my open gum sockets. My recovery took a long time and I used it constantly, so the syringe didn't last long enough so I bought new ones. It was more convenient to just buy them here than take off work to go by my dentist for more. They were just like what my dentist gave me and did their job. I only needed one, but it was nice having so many so I could keep one at the office, in my purse, and at home so I'd never be left without one in a time of need (any time I ate). It's been months and they work just like day 1, but I haven't needed to use it much after a month or two.

These are perfect syringes for medicating and feeding sick or ill reptiles that are either babies or otherwise too small for normal syringes. The ones they give you at the vet's office are too large for small beardies. This was perfect for giving my beardie his medication. They're air tight, so I was able to easily drip the medication on the front of his mouth one drop at a time. If I had wanted to, I could have fit it into his mouth due to the small tip, but he didn't need me to do that. It doesn't come with any sort of dosage markings on it though. So I just used the vet syringe to measure and then I just put the medicine into this syringe to give it to him. It comes with five syringes, which worked perfect for me. I use one for feeding and one for medicating. The others I'm going to keep on hand just in case. Overall this was perfect for what I needed!
