MULTIFIT REUSABLE SYRINGE. This is a Becton-Dickinson 10cc Glass medical Syringe Multifit metal tip. I'm guessing that Multifit means that you can attach different sizes of needles.
In 1897, Maxwell Becton and Fairleigh Dickinson founded Becton, Dickinson and Company with a vision to improve outcomes for patients. Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) is an American medical technology company that manufactures and sells medical devices, instrument systems, and reagents. Founded in 1897 and headquartered in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
Syringe barrels were initially made of metal, but by 1866 they were made from glass (the needles remained metal). This enabled doctors to see what medication remained in the barrel.Collection
