Hypodermic syringe

摘要

A syringe has a capsule assembly (1) which is pre-loaded with injectant fluid (1.10) and is provided with a needle (1.2) that is covered by a sealed needle sheath (1.4). The capsule assembly (1) is placed into a housing (2). The sealed capsule is prepared for use by removal of the sealed needle sheath (1.4). A plunger (4) with an associated piston (5) is used to input the fluid (1.10). The capsule assembly (1) including the needle (1.2) is automatically retracted into the housing (2) after use.
