Abstract
In order to provide a piston and a syringe with good sliding performance and pressure resistance performance, the piston contained in the syringe that pressurizes or decompresses an internal medium is configured such that a soft portion made of a soft material and a rigid portion made of a material having rigidity higher than rigidity of the soft portion, are connected in series, and arranged such that the soft portion is in contact with the medium and the rigid portion is not in contact with the medium. The soft portion includes a hollow on a surface in contact with the medium. The rigid portion has an end surface facing the soft portion, the end surface including at least an outer peripheral portion in contact with the soft portion. The outer diameter of the soft portion is larger than the outer diameter of the rigid portion, and the outer diameter of the rigid portion is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of an outer cylinder of the syringe.
