oral syringe

Liquid dose deliverer

An oral syringe is a small plastic device for measuring and administering liquid medication by mouth.

Unlike hypodermic syringes, oral syringes have no needle and often won't accept one—they're designed only for dispensing into the mouth.

They're commonly used to give precise doses to infants or pets: The pediatrician showed me how to use the oral syringe.
