a syringe comprising a barrel and a needle mounted to the barrel; a needle shield covering the needle of the syringe; and a syringe carrier comprising a body within which the barrel of the syringe is received, the body having a cylindrical shape with a first diameter and including a distal portion having one or more barbs, and the one or more barbs being resilient and engaging a circumferential gap between the barrel of the syringe and the needle shield, wherein the distal portion of the body is enlarged and has a second diameter greater than the first diameter of the body to allow insertion of a cylindrical tool having an open end adapted to receive the needle shield, the tool having a third diameter substantially equal to the second diameter, and wherein the one or more barbs are adapted to deflect when engaged by the tool to allow the needle shield to pass the one or more barbs in a distal direction. |
