Description
Busse EpiGlide Loss of Resistance Syringes are 10mL plastic syringes made for the loss of resistance technique used to confirm epidural placement. The range offers the two standard tip fittings, Luer Lock for a secured connection and Luer Slip for a push fit.
- Purpose Built for LOR – A 10mL plastic syringe sized and weighted for loss of resistance work at the epidural needle.
- Two Tip Fittings – Luer Lock item 595 and Luer Slip item 596 cover both connection preferences.
- Sterile Dispenser Boxes – Ten syringes per dispenser box and five boxes per case suit anesthesia cart stocking.
- EpiGlide Line – Pairs with the EpiGlide Tuohy needles in the same manufacturer line.
Loss of Resistance Syringes for Epidural Work
Finding the epidural space by loss of resistance depends on the feel of the syringe plunger, which is why the technique has its own dedicated syringes. These 10mL plastic syringes are the manufacturer’s EpiGlide answer to that need, offered with the two tip fittings anesthesia services use. The Luer Lock version threads onto the needle hub for a connection that cannot slip under pressure.
The Luer Slip version pushes on for services that prefer the faster fitting and removal. Both are supplied sterile in dispenser boxes of 10, with five boxes making the 50 count case.

Why Choose These LOR Syringes?
Loss of resistance is a feel technique, and a general purpose syringe is a compromise at the moment that matters most. These syringes are made for the technique, in both tip fittings, and they come from the same EpiGlide line as the Tuohy needles they work with.
- Technique Specific – A syringe built for loss of resistance work rather than adapted from general stock.
- Both Fittings Covered – Lock and slip preferences are both served under their own item numbers.
- Line Consistency – The same EpiGlide family as the epidural needles stocked beside them.
- Maker Specification – Sizes, tips and pack counts follow the manufacturer’s published catalog table.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a loss of resistance syringe?
It is the syringe used with an epidural needle to detect entry into the epidural space by the change in resistance on the plunger. These are 10mL plastic syringes made for that technique.
What is the difference between the two configurations?
Item 595 has a Luer Lock tip that threads onto the needle hub. Item 596 has a Luer Slip tip that pushes on, and both are 10mL and sterile.
Are the syringes sterile?
Yes. Both configurations are supplied sterile and intended for single use.
How are they packed?
They are packed 10 per dispenser box with five boxes per case, 50 syringes per case. Sold by the case, exactly as the manufacturer packs it.
Do they match the Tuohy needles here?
They are part of the same EpiGlide epidural line as the Tuohy needles in this catalog. The tip choice, lock or slip, follows the needle hub and clinician preference.
