The first true hypodermic syringe was created by Alexander Wood in 1853. He modified a regular syringe, which at that time was used for treating birthmarks, by adding a needle. He then used this new device for introducing morphine into the skin of patients who suffered from sleeping disorders.

The first clinically applicable sphygmomanometer was invented in 1881 by Austrian physician Karl Samuel Ritter von Basch. Von Basch introduced the aneroid manometer, which uses a round dial that provides a pressure reading. The pressure is indicated by a needle, which is deflected by air from an inflation device (e.g., a diaphragm or Bourdon tube).
