Multipurpose Double-Barrel Syringe: An Aid in the Administration of Radiopharmaceuticals

摘要

A double-barrel syringe was constructed by recombining the component parts of two commercially available and disposable hypodermic syringes and needles. The unit was sterilized and was used to perform dual pharmaceutical injections with a single successful venipuncture. The syringe was found to be easier to handle and having fewer drawbacks than present iv delivery systems. Applications for three routine examinations are described.
