This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.

|
Infusion Pumps are used to deliver very small quantities of drugs over
long periods of time. They are also commonly called Syringe Pumps. |
|
A worm gear (shaft) slowly turns, moving the plunger of the syringe in,
and pushing the medication out. These can also be used in reverse to withdraw
fluids. |
|
Here the action is shown much faster than it usually would be. The injection
might take place over a period of many hours. |
|
A typical infusion pump might have a flow rate range from .2 cubic centimeters
(cc) to 500cc per hour. At .2cc per hour, a 10cc syringe would require
50 hours to empty. |
