The Hypodermic luer lock needle adapters & hubs system of joining needles to syringes has been in use for generations. Growing from the original application of a metal fitting attached to a glass syringe, male luer lock adapters allow this connection system to be used in a myriad of applications. Vita Needle Company has proprietary technology which permits plated brass adapters to be produced far more economically than conventional, single point machining. Because the luer lock system specifications are so demanding, very few producers without the generations of Vita's experience are willing to manufacture and stock these luer lock hubs. Vita's variety of stock nickel plated brass and stainless steel, ANSI and ISO 594/1 and ISO 80369-7 TAPER ONLY compliant luer adapters and thread to thread industrial adapters supplements our ability to manufacture to custom specifications.

Our polypropylene syringes are designed for industrial dispensing for careful placement of materials such as adhesives, pastes, sealants, lubricants, fluxes and grease, among others. Manual versions are pre-lubricated and include the syringe barrel, plunger and stopper. Syringe stoppers are made of natural black medical grade rubber or polyethylene. Air operated versions are intended for use with dispensing machines; they do not include the plunger and are not lubricated. All items are non-sterile.

Aluminum Commercial Tubing & Pipe

Hypodermic tubing is small diameter tubing that is welded and drawn over a floating plug to tight OD and ID tolerances. The gauge chart below provides a list of sizes offered for stainless steel hypotube. With a vast range of sizes and custom hypodermic tubing offerings, Vita Needle is here to help you find the hypodermic tubing you need for your application.

Reusable Stainless Steel Hypodermic Needles Medical hypodermic needles (or needle assemblies) typically consist of a machined fitting joined to a fabricated tube. Most often, the tube is stainless steel and pointed or blunt (click on cannula link for more details). The worldwide hypodermic needle fitting standard in the medical, laboratory and dispensing fields is the female Luer Lock cannula. The mating part, which provides a tight seal via a quarter-turn, quick-disconnect is the male luer lock cannula.
