The Syringe Injection Needle – 10 pieces is a set for professional medical and laboratory environments in which sterile disposable syringes and injection needles are used. The set consists of 10 individual pieces and is intended for use according to product specifications and applicable professional protocols.
Syringes and needles are among the medical devices that must be handled carefully. RIVM emphasizes that when working with sharp medical devices, attention must be paid to hygiene, safety and the prevention of needlestick injuries.
Product features
A syringe typically consists of a cylinder, a piston, and a connector to which a suitable needle can be attached. The injection needle is designed for single use when prescribed by the manufacturer and the applicable protocol.
The exact dimensions of the syringe and needle may vary per product. Think of the contents of the syringe, the length of the needle, the diameter and the type of connection. Therefore, always check the packaging and product specifications before using the device within a professional environment.
Pack of 10 pieces
This version comes as a pack of 10 syringes with needles. Individual sterile packaging helps prevent unused devices from being unnecessarily exposed to the environment.
Sterile medical devices must be stored according to the indicated expiration date and storage conditions. RIVM advises to regularly check the expiration dates of sterile instruments and materials and to stop using expired products.
Sterile and single-use
Where a hypodermic needle or syringe is designated as sterile and single-use, it must be handled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The packaging must be intact before the product is used.
A damaged or opened sterile package may mean that sterility is no longer guaranteed. Therefore, check the packaging and expiration date before a medical device is used professionally.
Safe handling of hypodermic needles
Hypodermic needles are sharp tools and can cause needlestick injuries if used incorrectly. Therefore, specific safety procedures apply within professional care settings.
RIVM advises to use safe needle systems when they are available. Used needles must not be re-coated with a protective cover. After use, single-edged instruments should be disposed of immediately in a suitable sharps container and not in a normal waste bin.
Professional application
The kit can be used in appropriate medical, healthcare or research settings when the product meets the requirements of the procedure in question. Which syringe and needle are suitable depends on the specific medical device, the procedure and the instructions of the licensed professional.
This product information only describes the general characteristics of the device and does not constitute an instruction for performing injections.
Storage and control
Store unused syringes and needles in their original packaging and under the storage conditions specified by the manufacturer. Protect sterile products from damage, moisture, and other conditions that may affect packaging or product quality.
Before professional use, check among other things:
- the product packaging;
- the sterile status;
- the expiry date;
- the dimensions;
- manufacturer’s product specifications.
Responsible waste disposal
Used hypodermic needles should not be disposed of with ordinary household waste. According to the RIVM guidelines, needles and other disposable sharps that pierce the skin or mucous membranes must be disposed of directly in a suitable sharps container.
A correct waste procedure reduces the risk of needlestick injuries for caregivers, employees and other persons who may come into contact with waste.

The right choice of syringe and needle type depends on the respective medical application and the product specifications. Use and application should be carried out, where appropriate, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and under the supervision of a qualified professional.
