A disposable syringe having a plunger ( 20 ) which is movable within a barrel ( 170 ), a needle carrier ( 80 ) to retain a needle ( 300 ), and, a connection means ( 70 ) attached to the plunger. In use, upon depression of the plunger ( 20 ), the connection means ( 70 ) engages the needle carrier ( 80 ). This is achieved such that there is angular displacement of the needle carrier ( 80 ) relative to the longitudinal axis of the syringe. Therefore, upon subsequent withdrawal of the plunger ( 20 ) the needle carrier ( 80 ) becomes housed in the barrel ( 170 ) in a canted manner.
