Saturday 17 May 2008 Syringe A Syringe Nowadays Nearly Always Means A Medical Syringe, But It Can Mean Any Of These: A Simple Hand-Powered Piston Pump Consisting Of A Plunger That Can Be Pulled And Pushed Along Inside A Cylindrical Tube (The Barrel), Which Has A Small Hole On One End, So It Can Suck Liquid In And Then Squirt It Out By The Same Hole. The Word "Syringe" Came From The Greek ?????? = "Tube" Via Extracting A New Singular From Its Greek-Type Plural "Syringes" (????????); See Also Syrinx. In Former Times The Word "Syringe" Also Meant Big Two-Handed Pumps Of This Type Used E.G. As Early Firefighting Water Pumps. Nowadays The Word "Syringe" Is Restricted To Smaller Devices, Used To Transfer Small Amounts Of Liquids Or Gases To Or From Otherwise Inaccessible Areas, Including Particularly Hypodermic Syringes Used With A Needle For Injection. As A Result, Jet Injectors Are Sometimes Called Syringes. Distinguish From Syrinx. Also, Some People Use "Syringes" As The Plural Of "Syrinx". One Medical Survival Of The Word "Syringe" For Uses Other Than Injection, Is In "Syringing An Ear Out", I.E. Washing Unwanted Matter Out Of The External Ear Canal. Medical Syringes Hypodermic Syringes Are Used With Hypodermic Needles To Inject Liquid Or Gases Into Body Tissues, Or To Remove From The Body. Injecting Of Air Into A Blood Vessel Is Undesirable, As It May Cause An Air Embolism; Preventing Embolisms By Removing Air From The Syringe Is One Of The Reasons For The Familiar Image Of Holding A Hypodermic Syringe Upside Down, Tapping It, And Expelling A Small Amount Of Liquid Before An Injection Into The Bloodstream. However, The Primary Reason Air Bubbles Are Removed From The Syringe Prior To Injection Is To Make Sure An Accurate Dosage Is Delivered. The Barrel Of A Syringe Is Made Of Plastic Or Glass, And Usually Has Graduated Marks Indicating The Volume Of Fluid In The Syringe, And Is Nearly Always Transparent. Glass Syringes May Be Sterilized In An Autoclave. However, Most Modern Medical Syringes Are Plastic With A Rubber Piston, Because This Type Seals Much Better Between The Piston And The Barrel And Because They Are Cheap Enough To Dispose Of After Being Used Only Once, Reducing The Risk Of Spreading Blood-Borne Diseases. Re-Use Of Needles And Syringes Has Caused Spread Of Diseases, Especially Hiv And Hepatitis Among Intravenous Drug Users. Syringes Are Commonly Re-Used By Diabetics And This Is Safe, If The Syringe Is Only Used By One Person. Medical Syringes Are Sometimes Used Without A Needle For Orally Administering Liquid Medicines To Young Children Or Animals, Or Milk To Small Young Animals, Because The Dose Can Be Measured Accurately, And It Is Easier To Squirt The Medicine Into The Subject's Mouth Instead Of Coaxing The Subject To Drink Out Of A Measuring Spoon.
