What are the parts of a syringe?
The basic parts of a syringe are the barrel, plunger, and tip. The barrel is a tube that is open at one end and tapers into a hollow tip at the other end. The plunger is a piston-type rod with a slightly cone-shaped top that passes inside the barrel of the syringe.

What are the 5 basic syringes used?
What are the types of Syringes?
- Insulin Syringe. One of the more common types of syringes, these are for single-use and are inexpensive.
- Tuberculin Syringe. Tuberculin syringes are small in size and hold up to 1ml of fluid.
- Multi-Shot Needle Syringe.
- Venom Extraction Syringe.
- Oral Syringe.

What is a 3 part syringe?
A 3 part syringe has the barrel (the outside of the syringe, which has the graduations and name printed on it), the plunger AND a rubber plunger cap to form a better seal between the barrel and the plunger most of the syringes we stock are 3 part syringes.
What is flange in syringe?
The Plunger Flange bears the load of whatever is pushing the plunger. That might be your thumb or a syringe pump pusher block. The Plunger Flange is usually locked into the anti-siphon plate by the anti-siphon screw.The Barrel Flange is located on the Barrel of the syringe.
What is a needle flange?
After the barrel of a syringe is cut away from the tubing, a shoulder, flange, or finger grip is formed by heating the end, rotating the barrel, and using forming tools on the soft glass. A flange can be fully round or be cut into any of a number of shapes, with small variations depending on the manufacturer and model.
What is the needle on a syringe called?
A hypodermic (hypo under, dermic the skin) needle is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject substances into the body or extract fluids from it.Hypodermic needles also serve important roles in research requiring sterile conditions.
What is the hilt of a syringe?
An important area of the syringe is called the hub or the hilt. This is the place where the needle meets the barrel. When penetrating the skin, you will push the needle in until the hub/hilt meets the skin.
What parts of the syringe need to be kept sterile?
The needle is made up of the hub, shaft, and bevel. The bevel is the tip of the needle that is slanted to create a slit into the skin. The hub fits onto the tip of the syringe. All three parts must remain sterile at all times.
What are the 3 different sizes of syringes?
Most syringes come in measures of 30-units or 0.3 milliliters (ml), 50 units (0.5 ml), and 100 units (1 ml).
How many types of syringes are there?
The most common needle gauges are 26 and 27. This gauge range adapts to all three types of injections–intradermal, intramuscular and subcutaneous.
What are syringe sizes?
0.3 mL syringes are for insulin doses under 30 units of insulin and are numbered at 1-unit intervals.
Size chart for common insulin syringes.
| Needle length | Needle gauge | Barrel size |
|---|---|---|
| 3/16 inch (5 mm) | 28 | 0.3 mL |
| 5/16 inch (8 mm) | 29, 30 | 0.5 mL |
| 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) | 31 | 1.0 mL |
What are the most common types of syringes?
The most common and recognized type of syringe is the U-100 insulin syringe. These insulin syringes are meant to be one time use only thus the low cost.
What is needle injector?
Needle free injection technology (NFIT) encompasses a wide range of drug delivery systems that drive drugs through the skin using any of the forces as Lorentz, shock waves, pressure by gas or electrophoresis which propels the drug through the skin, virtually nullifying the use of hypodermic needle.
What is needle gauge?
The gauge (abbreviated as G) of a needle refers to the size of the hole in the needle. The higher the gauge, the smaller the hole.The length of a needle is listed after the gauge number. For example, 25G ? refers to a 25 gauge, ? inch-long needle.
What is the function of barrel in syringe?
A syringe barrel is the cylindrical part of a syringe that holds fluid to be injected, or fluid that has been withdrawn. The barrel is usually made of glass or plastic.
What is the use of plunger in syringe?
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 front (open) end of the tube.
What is insulin syringe?
An insulin syringe has three parts: a needle, a barrel, and a plunger. The needle is short and thin and covered with a fine layer of silicone to allow it to pass through the skin easily and reduce pain. A cap covers and protects the needle before it is used.
Why is it hard to push the syringe?
Because the air cannot escape from inside the syringe, when you then try to push in the plunger, the air inside the plunger is compressed into a smaller volume.This higher pressure pushes outwards against the plunger, which is why it becomes much harder to push the plunger further into the syringe.
What part of the syringe fills and empties the syringe?
Various Parts
The typical syringe consists of several parts: the plunger, barrel, hub, needle and protective cap. You will find the plunger in the lower region of the syringe. It is manufactured using plastic or glass. The plunger fits inside the barrel and moves up and down to fill or empty the barrel.
