Tuberculin Non-Safety Syringe with Needle

When a Standard Barrel Is Too Coarse to Measure Accurately

Small-volume injections lose accuracy fast on a syringe barrel built for larger doses, which is exactly the gap a 1 mL tuberculin syringe fills. The fine graduation marks make it easier to draw and deliver a precise small volume, whether that's an intradermal test dose or a medication dosed by body weight on a smaller patient. As a non-safety design, it's a straightforward, economical option for settings that don't require a shielding mechanism on every syringe, and it's a common item in vet tech skills labs teaching injection technique and dose measurement fundamentals.
