A syringe pump is a medical device used to deliver small and precise amounts of medication or fluids directly into a patient’s bloodstream over a set period of time. It is commonly used in critical care, post-surgical recovery, or for patients who require continuous medication like insulin, antibiotics, or pain relief. The device holds a syringe filled with the prescribed fluid and slowly pushes the plunger at a controlled rate, ensuring accurate and steady infusion. Syringe pumps are especially useful in home care settings when hospital-like attention is needed, such as in palliative care or during the transition from hospital to home.
