syringes
Needled liquid deliverers
Syringes are tube-shaped medical devices with a plunger mechanism, used to inject fluids into or withdraw them from the body.
A syringe typically attaches to a hollow needle for penetrating skin.
Beyond medicine, syringes appear in cooking for injecting marinades and in crafts for precise glue application.
The nurse prepared the syringes for the vaccination clinic.
