ABSTRACT:
A syringe includes a barrel, a plunger, a needle assembly and a dual use needle cap. The plunger is mounted to move within the barrel in a typical manner, and the needle assembly is typical in that it includes a generally cylindrical base with a needle attached to a protruding away therefrom. The dual use needle cap includes a before use portion integrated with, but separate from, an after use portion. The before use portion has an outer surface and an interior surface defining a sterile chamber sized to enclosed the needle. The after use portion includes a living clamp and a hood attached to the outer surface adjacent opposite ends of the dual use needle cap. The living clamp is sized to snap fit onto one of either the neck of the syringe barrel or the base of the needle assembly. The hood is sized to cover the tip of the needle.
