A syringe comprising a barrel 106 defining a central longitudinal axis, a needle mount 104 formed at a first end of the barrel 106, eccentrically relative to the longitudinal axis A, and a shield 302 displaceable between a first configuration, in which the shield 302 substantially surrounds the barrel 106, and a second configuration, in which the shield 302 extends beyond said first end of the barrel 106. The shield 302 is formed such that a needle mounted on said needle mount 104 may be inserted into a fluid transfer container whilst the shield 302 is in said second configuration. The shield 302 may be frusto-conical, or have a elliptical or oval second end. The second end of the shield 302 may be laterally displaceable relative to the needle. |
