Manufactured from <strong>medical-grade raw materials<\/strong>, the syringe undergoes <strong>EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization<\/strong> to ensure maximum sterility. Each unit is packaged in a <strong>blister pack<\/strong> composed of <strong>medical-grade paper and transparent film<\/strong>.

It consists of a <strong>movable plunger<\/strong> within a cylindrical tube and a <strong>narrow tip<\/strong> through which fluids are dispensed. In common usage, it is often referred to as a <strong>needle<\/strong>. While originally developed for medical purposes, syringes are now occasionally used in <strong>gardening<\/strong> or <strong>cooking<\/strong> as well.<\/p><p>In medicine, vaccine syringes are used to:<\/p><ol><li><p>Clean wounds and cavities<\/p><\/li><li><p>Inject fluids (e.g., vaccines, medication)<\/p><\/li><li><p>Draw bodily fluids such as blood<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p>Historically, syringes were made from <strong>glass<\/strong>, later followed by <strong>metal<\/strong> variants.

Therefore, <strong>doctors determine the appropriate syringe type<\/strong> based on potential chemical reactions. Syringes also vary by <strong>volume<\/strong>, typically available in 2 mL, 4 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL, 50 mL, etc.<\/p><p><strong>Syringe vs. Injector<\/strong><\/p><p>Though often used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference:<\/p><ol><li><p>A <strong>syringe<\/strong> can both <strong>inject<\/strong> and <strong>draw<\/strong> fluids (e.g., vaccines or blood samples)<\/p><\/li><li><p>An <strong>injector<\/strong> is typically designed <strong>only to deliver substances<\/strong> (e.g., insulin or allergy medications)<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p><strong>Needle Color Codes by Gauge<\/strong><\/p><p>Needle gauge refers to the <strong>diameter<\/strong> of the needle, while <strong>length<\/strong> is measured in millimeters (mm).
