Syringes / Needles are used with hypodermic needles to inject liquid or gases into body tissues, or to remove from the body. Injecting of air into a blood vessel is undesirable, as it may cause an air embolism; preventing embolisms by removing air from the syringe is the reason for the familiar image of holding a hypodermic syringe upside down, tapping it, and expelling a small amount of liquid before an injection into the bloodstream.

Medical apparel includes scrubs, shirts and trousers or gowns worn by surgeons, nurses, and other operating room personnel when "scrubbing in" for surgery. The wearing of medical apparel/scrubs has been extended outside of surgery in many hospitals. Scrubs are now worn by any hospital personnel in any clean environment.
