Which type of syringe is specifically designed to work with a catheter?

The type of syringe specifically designed to work with a catheter is the catheter syringe. This syringe is engineered with a unique design that allows for efficient and safe administration of fluids or medications through catheters. It usually features a tapered form that fits snugly into catheter ports, minimizing the risk of leakage and ensuring a secure connection. The catheter syringe often has a larger barrel capacity, which makes it ideal for various medical scenarios requiring the delivery of larger volumes of fluids.

While other syringes can be used in conjunction with a catheter, they may not provide the same level of compatibility or safety. For instance, a Leur lock syringe is designed for a secure connection with various medical devices and can be used with some catheters, but it is not specifically tailored for that purpose. A standard syringe may not have the specific features needed to effectively connect with a catheter, and an insulin syringe is specifically designed for administering insulin at precise doses and is not suitable for use with catheters. Thus, the catheter syringe stands out as the most appropriate choice for working with catheters.
