  Syringe: How Products are Made
The hypodermic syringe, also known as the hypodermic needle, is a device used by medical professionals to transfer liquids into or out of the body.
The needle is the part of the device that actually pierces the layers of the skin.
Since hypodermic syringes come in direct contact with the interior of the body, government regulations require that they be made from biocompatible materials which are pharmacologically inert.

 Under Your Skin: Polysemy, AIDS, and the Hypodermic Needle
Needles, spawned by the medical industry and later codified as objects of vice and instruments of destructive identity through their connection to drug use, resist categorization as life saving implements in the struggle to overcome AIDS infection and HIV spread.
Hypodermic needles are interesting because they come to function as the gatekeepers of the human body for a medicine subservient to its spatial boundaries, and a developing medical practice which looks to insert itself inside the body, under the skin, in order to localize the illness.
Yet, in the landscape of addiction, needles are instruments for the corrosion of the civilized body, and they metamorphose the contours of the injected body into a space on which morality is wasted, where there is no high ground for the imperatives of moral citizenship.

            The Legislature's use of the phrase "possibly including needle sterilization" and the phrase "distribute appropriate materials" is some indication that the Legislature contemplated that regional AIDS service networks might wish to engage in "intervention strategies" for intravenous drug users to stop the spreading of AIDS which occurs through the sharing of unsterile hypodermic needles.
Page 8]] same time, we recognize (as the Legislature surely did only a year ago), that most of the needles now in general use are disposable needles intended to be discarded after a single use.
  Because the distribution of hypodermic needles to users of illegal drugs is otherwise unlawful, we conclude that the AIDS act is not broad enough to authorize such distribution, and we therefore answer your first question in the negative.

This large tube is formed by either rolling a sheet of metal into a tube and welding the seam, or by taking a solid billet of metal and boring a hole through the center while the metal is heated (creating "seamless tubing").
