Loss of resistance syringe
Loss of resistance (LOR) syringes are a vital tool used in the epidural procedure where a local anesthetic is administered into the epidural space around the spinal cord. Looking similar to a standard 3 piece syringe but with much lower frictional properties, a LOR syringe requires high volume production, high quality tooling, precision injection moulding, complex multi-stage assembly, and rigorous quality control. Continuity of supply is essential for this safety critical device.
