Syringe
A syringe is a medical instrument used for injecting fluids into the body or withdrawing fluids from the body. It consists of a plunger that fits tightly within a cylindrical barrel, marked with graduations indicating the volume of fluid.
Material
Syringes are commonly constructed from:
- Plastic: Primarily polypropylene, often used for pre-filled syringes and general applications. Offers disposability and clarity.
- Glass: Borosilicate glass is favored for its chemical resistance and precise volume markings. Typically used for applications requiring accuracy and for syringes intended for reuse (though reuse is increasingly discouraged due to safety concerns).
- Metal: Stainless steel was historically common, now less prevalent due to cost and the risk of corrosion.
Purpose
The primary purposes of a syringe are:
- Injection: Delivering medications, vaccines, hormones, or other fluids directly into the body (intramuscularly, intravenously, subcutaneously, intradermally).
- Aspiration: Removing fluids such as blood, pus, or other bodily fluids for diagnostic testing or therapeutic drainage.
- Sample Collection: Obtaining specimens for laboratory analysis.
Function
A syringe functions based on simple mechanics:
- Drawing Fluid: Pulling back the plunger creates a vacuum within the barrel, drawing fluid into the syringe through the attached needle.
- Expelling Fluid: Pushing the plunger forward forces fluid out through the needle.
- Needle Attachment: A needle, typically hollow and beveled for ease of insertion, is securely attached to the syringe's tip to facilitate fluid transfer.
Usage Scenarios
Syringes are used in a wide range of medical settings, including:
- Hospitals and Clinics: Routine injections, blood draws, administering medications.
- Doctor's Offices: Vaccinations, allergy testing, minor surgical procedures.
- Laboratories: Sample collection and preparation.
- Home Healthcare: Self-administration of medications (e.g., insulin for diabetes).
- Veterinary Medicine: Animal vaccinations, treatments, and sample collection.
Common Types
- Oral Syringes: Used for accurate administration of liquid medications by mouth. Typically lack a needle.
- Insulin Syringes: Specifically designed for injecting insulin, with fine gauge needles and precise volume markings (often in units).
- Tuberculin Syringes: Small syringes used for intradermal injections, such as TB skin tests.
- Pre-filled Syringes: Contain a pre-measured dose of medication, reducing the risk of dosage errors.
- Safety Syringes: Incorporate features to prevent accidental needlestick injuries (e.g., retractable needles, needle shields).
- Luer Lock Syringes: Feature a threaded hub that allows a needle to be securely twisted onto the syringe, preventing accidental disconnection.
- Luer Slip Syringes: Allow a needle to be simply pushed onto the syringe hub.
- Jet Injectors: Use high-pressure fluid to deliver medication through the skin without a needle (less common).
Syringes are instruments used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences. They can be with or without needles and are used for injecting or withdrawing fluids.
