ABSTRACT:
A pre-filled syringe comprising, as common prior art syringes have, a partially open end, a neck extending therefrom, a needle, a needle cover plus a new type of attachment for storing and using the syringe needle. Prior to using the pre-filled syringe, the needle and needle cover are attached to the inside surface of the syringe neck, with the needle puncture end (and the respective needle cover end) within the syringe body surrounded by the pre-filled solution, while the needle attachment end (and the respective needle cover end) is exterior to the syringe body. To use the syringe, the needle cover and needle are removed from the syringe body interior and are attached at the needle attachment end to the outside surface of the syringe neck. The needle cover is then removed from the needle, and the needle is now primed for use. In one embodiment, the storage attachment comprises mating threading on the needle cover and the body neck. In another embodiment, the storage attachment comprises at least one rib on either the needle cover or the body neck and at least two ribs on the other of the needle cover or the body neck. The ribs provide a snapping engagement between the needle cover and the body neck. After use of the syringe, the needle and cover are re-inserted into the body of the syringe for ultimate disposal.
