Figure 1. Image of a syringe
A syringe is the cylindrical part of a syringe, excluding the needle and plunger, used to fill the syringe with liquid. It is also called a syringe tube or outer tube. Currently, disposable plastic (polypropylene) syringes are the most common, but glass (borosilicate glass) syringes are also used as needed.
Uses of syringes can be divided into two main categories: medical and laboratory. Plastic syringes, which are currently mainstream, are sterilized and packaged individually and are disposable. This prevents infection in the medical field and contamination in chemical experiments. Since plastic syringes cannot be heat sterilized, ethylene oxide gas sterilization or radiation (gamma ray) sterilization is used. On the other hand, glass syringes are used in the following cases. In this case, medical glass syringes are sterilized and used repeatedly for each specification.
In medical applications, syringes are mainly used for blood sampling, drug injection, and enemas. Pre-filled syringes may be used to inject drugs such as immunizations to prevent infection and improve work efficiency.
In addition to medical use, syringes are also used as experimental instruments in physics, chemistry, and life sciences. Their main uses include the injection of liquids and gases, volume measurement, pressurization and depressurization, dripping, and dispensing.
Figure 2. Image of a syringe in use
Syringes are usually used with a movable plunger (pusher) with a needle attached to the tip. Syringes come in various capacities, but the size and shape of the connection to the needle are standardized regardless of the capacity. Therefore, needles of any size and length can be attached.
Syringes can be classified according to the shape of the tip and the position of the needle connection.
