FAQ
1. How are StaClear syringes different from standard syringes?
StaClear syringes are coated with TriboLink-Si® – a patented coating process that fixes silicone oil onto the syringe barrel. Each lot of StaClear syringes is tested for USP<789> compliance to ensure low levels of particles. Hence, StaClear syringes combine the well-established lubricant characteristics of silicone without the inherent risks from using liquid silicone oil.
2. How is StaClear different from silicone-free syringes?
StaClear syringes feature a 3-part design with a rubber piston. Although not silicone-free, the silicone oil is crosslinked and immobilized to reduce particle generation, making it suitable for sensitive applications like ophthalmic injections.
In contrast, silicone-free syringes typically use a plastic piston and oleamide wax, which can result in less precise dosing and stiffer plunger movement. StaClear delivers superior control and performance vis-a-vis silicone-free syringes with reduced particles for precise injections.
