The syringe assembly (10) includes a syringe barrel (12) having an interior surface (22) and a substantially closed discharge end (24) defining a discharge opening (26). A stop (34) is mounted on the interior surface (22) of the syringe barrel (12). A piston (14) is slidably disposed within the syringe barrel (12). The piston has a forward-most sealing surface and the rearward-most sealing surface. The forward-most sealing surface (39) and the rearward-most sealing surface (45) are spaced a first distance from one another. The piston (14) is movable between a first position and a second position. The plunger rod (18) has at least one finger (76) extending therefrom, the at least one finger (76) having a distal end portion constructed to engage the stop (34) when the piston (14) is in its second position. The distal end portion of the at least one finger (76) is positioned no more than the first distance from the stop (34) when the piston (14) is in its first position. |
