A plunger is provided for a syringe that includes a pressure relief mechanism that exhausts any fluid trapped in the chamber between sealing flanges carried by the plunger when the plunger is advanced to dispense fluid from the syringe. The contact pressure between the barrel-contacting surface of the rearmost sealing flange nearest the access opening of the syringe barrel is weakened relative to the contact pressure provided by the barrel-contacting surface of the sealing flange that isolates the fluid within the barrel. The contact pressure of the rearmost sealing flange may be lessened by either reducing its radial diameter relative to the radial diameter of the other sealing flange, removing an underlying portion of the plunger, or configuring the rearmost sealing flange as deflectable sealing lip.
