Features

Barrel with a readable scale: this is where you will match up the top of the plunger seal (see image at the side) and the line on the scale with the amount of medication you need to administer. Most scales on the barrel are in mL (milliliters) or cc (cubic centimeters). If you are administering insulin you will use a syringe that measures in units. NOTE: always determine the capacity of your syringe because each syringe has different measurements on its scale..hence each line represents a different increment of measurement (more information on this below). This is a 10 mL syringe. Each line measures in 0.5 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 10 mL. General-purpose syringes are used in many laboratories and other workplaces for drawing up and expelling liquids or suspensions. They are designed to fit appropriate needles, tubing, syringe filters, or similar devices, and are constructed of plastic, glass, or a combination of both. They may also have metal components. Latex-free stopper prevents leakage of medication around the plunger and acts as an indicator for measuring the syringe contents.
