A self-lubricating medical syringe is provided for self-lubricating the inner surface of a prefilled syringe barrel. The syringe has a plunger distinguishing a compressible porous cylinder, which can be infused with a lubricant and is sandwiched in between a proximal and distal rubber tip. The self-lubricating medical syringe will be able to compensate for any missing lubricant along the inner surface of the syringe barrel and will also be able to provide for a uniform motion of the plunger.
