Reusable 1ml Glass Syringe with 2 Needles (Soviet Era)
This listing features a vintage, reusable 1ml glass syringe manufactured in the USSR during the Soviet era. This high-quality syringe is ideal for precise applications requiring a durable and reliable instrument. The kit includes two stainless steel needles.
Constructed from robust glass and medical-grade stainless steel, this syringe is built to withstand repeated use. However, proper sterilization is crucial to maintain hygiene and longevity.
Sterilization Instructions
- Disassemble: Carefully disassemble the syringe into its individual components (cylinder, plunger, and needles).
- Wrap: Wrap each component individually in a layer of gauze or muslin. This protects them from damage during boiling.
- Submerge: Gently place the wrapped components into a container filled with cold distilled water. Never use tap water or add any alkaline substances.
- Boil: Bring the water to a rolling boil and maintain this temperature for 30 minutes. This ensures thorough sterilization.
- Cool: Allow the components to cool completely in the water before carefully removing and drying them thoroughly.
- Assemble: Once dry, carefully reassemble the syringe.
Important Note: Due to the difference in thermal expansion between glass and metal, boiling the syringe assembled can cause breakage. Always follow the disassembly and wrapping instructions above for safe sterilization.
This vintage Soviet-era syringe is a testament to the quality craftsmanship of the period. Perfect for collectors, medical professionals, or anyone requiring a durable and precise reusable syringe. Buy now and experience the quality of a bygone era.
