English term or phrase: hand held syringe
¡Hola!

Es una jeringa para administrar medicamentos de forma subcutánea. He encontrado "bomba de jeringa" pero quería asegurarme de que es el término correcto.

¡Muchas gracias!

jeringa manual


Explanation:
He estado buscando tu propuesta, y en realidad una bomba de jeringa no parece muy portátil o manual. La bomba de jeringa es una maquinita que sirve para cargar y administrar jeringas. Por hand-held en este caso, yo diría que se refiere a que es una jeringa convencional, de las que se aplica directamente mediante la manipulación de un médico o especialista. Si inmediatamente después o muy cerca de syringe aparece pump, entonces sí que se puede referir a la bomba. Si no es así, es una jeringa normal y corriente (con aguja, claro!).

Saludos y suerte,
Alex Lorente
