How do I find out about the history of the syringe?
assistant
The first syringes were used in ancient Egypt. They were made from animal bones and hollowed-out reeds. The Greeks and Romans also used syringes, but they were made of glass or bronze. In the Middle Ages, syringes were made of wood, metal, or stone. In the 1700s, glass syringes were invented. Today, plastic syringes are most commonly used.
