[Brief history of the syringe].
Since the Greek Antiquity, the syringe was used to introduce some liquids through natural orifices; the invention of the hollow needle by Pravaz allowed the injection to be used through the skin or the blood vessels. Between 1841 and 1853, with the aid of the cutler Charrière, he succeeded in manufacturing a prototype of his syringe which is displayed in the museum of Lyons.
