Exel Syringes & Needles

Exel is a name clinicians reach for when they need dependable, no-frills injection supplies at a price that makes sense for high-volume use. Every syringe in this collection is sterile, latex-free, and built from clear polypropylene so you can read graduations and check for air bubbles at a glance. Whether you're drawing insulin-adjacent doses, administering vaccines, or running a busy immunization clinic, these are the workhorse disposables that get the job done without surprises.

The core of the range is Exel's Luer-lock disposable syringes with attached needles, available in configurations like the 3 mL / 23 gauge (26101) and 3 mL / 22 gauge (26102), each with a 1-inch needle. The Luer-lock tip threads securely so the needle won't pop off under pressure during injection, and the low dead space plunger design pulls more medication from each draw—reducing waste on expensive drugs and helping you get full doses out of every vial.

For precise small-volume work, Exel's 1 mL tuberculin syringes (26049 and 26050) feature fine, easy-to-read graduations and a flat-top plunger style. These are the standard choice for TB skin testing, allergy dosing, pediatric administration, and any application where accuracy at fractions of a milliliter matters. Note these are the non-safety versions, so they're intended for settings where sharps handling protocols are already in place.

A common question buyers ask: what's the difference between a tuberculin syringe and a standard 3 mL? Tuberculin syringes hold up to 1 mL and are calibrated for tiny, exact volumes; the 3 mL versions cover routine IM and SubQ injections. Choosing gauge comes down to fluid viscosity and injection site—22 gauge for thicker solutions, 23 gauge for thinner ones and less patient discomfort.
