• Made entirely of glass in a size
range of 0.5-50mL.
• Glass may be neutral or lime soda but former is preferred.
• Can be used only once and consequently need not be very strong.
• Their walls can be thin with the advantages of lightness, greater thermal resistance and more rapid heat conduction to the contents during sterilisation.
• After filling, ampoules are sealed by fusion of glass, so there is no danger of entry of microorganisms.

• They are closed at one end with a rubber stopper and the other end by a rubber plunger.
• Compared with ampoules, they are quicker and easier to use. They are safer as accidental contact with potent drug preparations in the injection is minimised as well as there is no possibility of injecting glass spicules.
• More suitable for suspensions.
• Syringe is unbreakable and only the needle mount need to be sterilised (only part touched by the injection).

• Early development was a soft metal tube with a needle attached. It has two major disadvantages viz-a-viz contents are invisible and it is necessary to guard against the solution corroding the container as well as container affecting the solution.
• Automatic injector was developed which is packed in a neutral glass ampoule containing an inert gas under pressure. Advantage is that the user has nothing to sterilise or assemble, therefore time saved and safety are even greater.
• Plastic syringes consists of the injection in small plastic syringe. The absence of gas is an advantage but the contents are not clearly visible. Care must be taken not to squeeze it after the cap has been removed because the barrel is not rigid. Its use is limited because of various

Infusion fluids usually given IV, are slowly dripped into the patient’s body and 3-4L may be given in 24 hours. Containers must be large and strong enough to withstand frequent cleaning, sterilisation, transport and handling. Bactericides are not permitted in large volume intravenous injections, therefore infusion fluids must always be regarded as single dose injections.

• It is most popular for IV fluids.
• The graduated capacity is 540mL, volume being the sum of anticoagulants(120mL) and blood
when the bottle is used for taking blood(added 500mL, normally).
• There are two scales moulded on the outside, one reading from the base when the bottle is
upright and the other from neck when the bottle is inverted.

Q

It is used for transferring IV injections from the bottle to the patients. Disposable giving sets consists of a piece of tubing about 1.5m long with a needle at one end for insertion into vein and a means of piercing the bottle closure at the other. Near to the bottle is a drip chamber from which speed of administration can be estimated. The unit must have a filter to prevent the transfusion of clots from blood. These have replaced the non-disposable types.

A

GIVING SETS:

60
Q

:
These are being increasingly used for infusion and dialysing fluid and for blood as they are unbreakable, light, disposable and occupy less storage space. However, they have some disadvantages like labels printed on the plastic are more difficult to read, less transparent than glass and can be punctured by the needles of giving sets. Commonly used plastics are PVC, polythene and polypropylene.

A

PLASTIC CONTAINERS

61
Q

They are not a type of single dose large volume injections but are commonly used for injecting, withdrawing or instilling fluids. It consists of a glass or plastic barrel with a tight fitting plunger at one end and a small opening at the other end which accommodates the head of a needle. Needle gauge is the outside diameter of needle shaft.
