A syringe is a medical device used to inject or withdraw liquids, such as medications or bodily fluids.
Syringes are commonly used in hospitals and clinics, as well as in home healthcare settings.
They typically consist of a cylindrical barrel, a plunger, and a needle or cannula.
Syringes are used to administer medications intravenously, intradermally, subcutaneously, or intramuscularly, depending on the specific type of syringe and the medication being administered.
It is important to follow proper technique and sterile procedures when using a syringe, to minimize the risk of infection or injury.
Syringes should only be used once, and should be disposed of properly in a sharps container or similar container.
If a healthcare provider is administering medication using a syringe, it is important to follow their instructions carefully and to report any adverse reactions or complications.
