A syringe is a simple reciprocating pump consisting of a plunger (though in modern syringes, it is actually a piston) that fits tightly within a cylindrical tube called a barrel. The plunger can be linearly pulled and pushed along the inside of the tube, allowing the syringe to take in and expel liquid or gas through a discharge orifice at the ...
A syringe with a male luer lock fitting, and a needle with female luer lock fitting (purple) which screws into it. The Luer taper is a standardized system of small-scale fluid fittings used for making leak-free connections between a male-taper fitting and its mating female part on medical and laboratory instruments, including hypodermic syringe tips and needles or stopcocks and needles.
The needle on a safety syringe can be detachable or permanently attached. On some models, a sheath is placed over the needle, whereas in others the needle retracts into the barrel. Safety needles [1] serve the same functions as safety syringes, but the protective mechanism is a part of the needle rather than the syringe. Legislation requiring ...

A hypodermic needle (from Greek ὑπο- (hypo-= under), and δέρμα (derma = skin)) is a very thin, hollow tube with one sharp tip. It is one of a category of medical tools which enter the skin, called sharps. [1]
Pipetting syringes are hand-held devices that combine the functions of volumetric (bulb) pipettes, graduated pipettes, and burettes. They are calibrated to ISO volumetric A grade standards. A glass or plastic pipette tube is used with a thumb-operated piston and PTFE seal which slides within the pipette in a positive displacement operation ...
A syringe pump for laboratory use. World Precision Instruments (WPI) SP120PZ. A syringe driver, also known as a syringe pump, is a small infusion pump, used to gradually administer small amounts of fluid (with or without medication) to a patient or for use in chemical and biomedical research. Some syringe drivers can both infuse and withdraw ...
for posterior rhinoscopy (seeing the inner parts of the nose like the choanae) Bronchoscope: hollow tube to see within the respiratory tract without obstructing respiration: Oesophagoscope: hollow tube to see within the oesophagus: Laryngoscope: used in direct laryngoscopy; video link: Jobson Horne's probe with ring curette: to access or clean ...
The carpuject is a syringe device for the administration of injectable fluid medication. It was patented by the Sterling Drug Company , which became the Sterling Winthrop , after World War II. It is designed with a luer-lock device to accept a sterile hypodermic needle or to be linked directly to intravenous tubing line.
