Syringe with Needle
Syringe with Needle are made up of a round cylindrical barrel, a close-fitting plunger and a tip where the hub of a needle is attached. Syringe with Needle comes in a number of sizes, ranging from .5 ml to 60 ml. A 1- to 3-ml syringe is normally adequate for injections given into tissues under the skin, also called subcutaneous injections, or injections into muscle, also known as intramuscular injections. Larger Syringe with Needle are used to add medication to intravenous lines and irrigate wounds. Classification Syringes are generally classified as luer lock syringe or non-luer lock syringe. This classification is based on the type of syringe tip. luer lock syringe syringes have tips that require needles that can be twisted and locked into place. This design prevents the needle from accidentally slipping off the syringe. Non-luer lock syringe syringes have tips that require needles that can be pressed on to the tip of the syringe without being twisted into place. Hypodermic Syringe A hypodermic syringe with needle is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject substances into the body or extract fluids from it. They may also be used to take liquid samples from the body, for example taking blood from a vein in venipuncture. Insulin Syringe Insulin syringe are small in size, they hold between 0.3 and 1 ml of medication. These needles are not calibrated in milliliters, they are calibrated in units. Most insulin syringes are calibrated up to 100 units. Insulin syringe is designed for self-injection and are used to give subcutaneous injections. Tuberculin Syringe Tuberculin syringe is used for tuberculosis testing. The fluid they contain is injected right into the skin. The Tuberculin syringe is small and is calibrated in milliliters. It has a long, thin barrel with a preattached needle. The Tuberculin syringe can hold up to 1 ml of fluid. Even though this syringe is small, it cannot be used to give insulin.
