Intravenous System: Injection port

where medicine or fluids other than those in the current IV bag can be injected so that they will infuse into the patient's vein through the IV tubing. The injection port on the actual IV bag is used if we want to mix some kind of medication with the fluid that is in the IV bag

Intravenous System: Drip chamber

inside this chamber we can see the fluid drip down from the bag into the IV tubing. This is where we measure the speed of a manual IV setup; we look at this chamber and count the number of drops we see per minute. The drip chamber must always be half full.

Syringes: Insulin Syringe

made specifically for self injections and have friendly features: shorter needles, as insulin injections are subcutaneous (under the skin) rather than intramuscular, finer gauge needles, for less pain, and. markings in insulin units to simplify drawing a measured dose of insulin.
