what's the word?

Hi everyone,
Could anyone please tell me the word for a syringe that kills, the syringe in which there's nothing but air.
And would you please put it in some context? like what verbs collocate with it.

Thanks in advance.

A syringe doesn't kill. It is what is inside the syringe that kills. Being injected by a syringe filled with acid may kill you.

You mean a syringe filled with air won't kill?

If you inject the air into your veins, it will. It's what's inside, not the syringe, that kills, as Gillnetter said.

So is there any word or expression for this?

Syringes don't kill people; people kill people.

Air injected through a syringe causes death by air embolism.
