cooling of a syringe isa gradual process.
Plunger Care
Metal Plungers for Standard Syringes
• Never force the plunger.
• Donot pump the plungerwhen the needle
is blocked as the high pressure generated
could crack the barrel.
• Replacement metal plungers are not
available. Plungers are individually fitted
to the barrels to achieve a perfect
seal. This means that plungers are not
interchangeable.
• Avoid unnecessarymovement of plungers
when the syringe isdry.
