Medtec Medical is a stocking distributor of normal saline flush and heparin lock flush prefill syringes from two different manufacturers: BD (Becton Dickinson), and AMUSA (Amsino Medical USA). Both manufacturers provide high quality prefill syringes at reasonable prices. BD, the more widely known of the two prefill syringe manufacturers, is higher in price for normal saline flush and heparin lock flush syringes. While AMUSA offers prefill syringes at a significantly lower price, you will find that AMUSA syringes are a highly comparable alternative if your goal is to minimize spending.

Benefits of Using Prefill Syringes Over The Traditional Needle & Vial Technique
Ease of use: Use of a prefill syringe eliminates several steps that are required before use of a drug in a vial. If the drug is lyophilized, one of these steps is reconstitution.
Increased drug supply and reduced waste: Prefill syringes eliminate the need to overfill and reduce waste of product. This is a godsend for manufacturers of product that is in short supply, such as some vaccines. This is also true for product that is extremely costly to manufacture, such as biotech drugs.
Elimination of dosing errors: Prefill syringes contain the exact deliverable dose desired. Pharmaceutical manufacturers overfill vials by up to 25%, especially if the desired dose is very small, to ensure that the user may withdraw the desired dose. This overfill of vials allows the possibility of dosing errors that are eliminated with our line of prefill syringes.
