Ringed syringes were used in procedures where careful positioning of the discharge or needle was required, such as spinal taps and deep organ injections.</i></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b><a href="http://www.museumofyesterday.org/sci_med/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.museumofyesterday.org/sci_med/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.museumofyesterday.org/sci_med/index.htm</a></b></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p>You also will sometimes see them identified as veterinary or equine syringes.
