I just got four of these, and really like them
I belong to a yahoo group (blenderized-diet) and a member posted about finding 120ml syringes. (the ones I've always used, and are standard issue are half that volume) The syringes are actually a gourmet food prep tool for "spherification", not medical equipment.
The improvement is not earth shaking, but, it does make feeding time easier for me because:
1) I have a larger error of margin for pouring into the syringe, as the diameter is a little larger, and the top of the syringe also has a wider lip.
2) It holds 4 ounces/120 ml, half a meal for me at one sitting, which makes it easier all the way around.
They can be purchased online at the Modernist Pantry. The cost was $7.48 each—currently shown as out of stock,btw. There is a first order/new customer promo code for free shipping, enter "shipfree" at checkout.
I am in no way affiliated, but would never have been able to find these by myself, I'd tried in the past, and given up. So, I wanted to share here
I gravity feed, and took the plungers out, but they do come with plungers.
Attaching comparison photos—as a bonus, you get to see a picture of Phoenix. The ornery cat refused to budge (anyone who's ever lived with a cat knows how determined they are to lay on anything new, and I'd spread out some fabric for a project lol)
