A syringe was a device used on Earth to inject medicine and draw blood before the advent of the hypospray.
History
When he was transported downtime from 2270 to 2020 and into Shaun Christopher's body, James T. Kirk's blood was drawn by Doctor Marcus O'Herlihy using a syringe. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)
In 2266, Leonard McCoy used a syringe to administer a radiation poisoning antidote to a de-aged Montgomery Scott. (TOS comic: "World Against Time")
He also used a syringe to give a sedative to Zar-Tan through body armor. (TOS comic: "The Empire Man!")
In 2267 aboard the USS Enterprise, McCoy filled a syringe loaded with anesthesia, put on an environmental suit, and passed through an airlock to combat two criminals planning to drop an irradiated warp reactor from orbit onto a penal colony. The needle of the syringe punctured their suits, and they fell helplessly out into space. (TOS comic: "Prison Break")
