Dose Syringe

01

Artifact Overview

Veterinarians use dose syringes to dispense a specific quantity of medicine. This syringe injects medicine orally into an animal's mouth -- unlike syringes that use a needle to inject medicine intravenously into the bloodstream. Dose syringes like this one, made of metal, were not disposable and had to be sterilized between uses.
