A syringe pump is an infusion pump that helps deliver an accurate amount of fluids, whether nutrients or medications, into the patient’s body in a controlled manner. It is used in medical settings such as a clinic, nursing home, or hospital.
Types of syringe pumps ?
There are different types of syringe pumps. Most common of them are Peristaltic pump syringes are mechanical devices that are used in intermittent flow injection of fluids & Neo syringe pumps are highly sophisticated devices that deliver small, accurate doses of medication.
How does a syringe pump work?
Syringe pumps work on the simple premise of displacement. This occurs when movement of the plunger results in the displacement of fluid within the syringe. You can then direct this fluid (via tubing) towards where you want to deliver it. The rate at which fluid is pumped out of the syringe is related to the rate at which the plunger is compressed. Syringe pumps are electromechanical devices that are designed to convert rotational motion into linear motion. This linear motion is then used to drive the plunger of a syringe and deliver a precise amount of solution.
What are the benefits of using a syringe pump?
They provide accurate and precise delivery of fluids.
They can deliver fluids at a constant rate over a long period of time.
They can be programmed to deliver fluids at specific times and rates.
They can be used to deliver fluids that are sensitive to changes in temperature or pressure.
What is the cost of syringe pump ?
The cost of a syringe pump is directly related to the specification and features of the machine. It also depends on the brand you want to buy. Normally, the price range of syringe pumps in India is INR 20000 to INR 90K.
To write a content on this is not easy because there will be a lot of information. So tried to inform a Non-tech person in a very superficial way. Thank you.
