Help- Coupling 2 syringes!

Hi PA,

I am struggling to find a device that couples two syringes (LA and corticosteroid) for injections without removing the needle from the target tissue. Our MSK GPs and Physios use large volume injections, and the new sharp safe needles have to be used. I'm sure there is some sort of Y-connector device out there which attaches to one needle and 2 syringes, but I cannot for the life of me locate them on the NHS online catalogue or access their proper name/code. Any body help please?

TIA

 

why wouldnt a single connection tube suffice - just disconnect one syringe and connect the next?

 

The new sharpsafe syringes are very stiff to remove from the needle, and creates truama to the target tissue.

 

disconnect the syringe at the syringe end leaving it connected to the needle

 

oops maybe im reading your posts wrong, sorry

we use Alaris products for our connectors, maybe they have a kit that suits anyway

 

can you not use a cannula type needle - as uses for nerve stimulator or ultrasound guided blocks? these are easy to change syringes on without disturbing the needle

 

I can ask them. Its not for myself, its for our GPSis and ESP physios. Don't do high volume injections myself.
