<p>A syringe includes a body and a plunger disposed therein. The body includes a nozzle formed therein and at least one hub member connected thereto or integrally formed thereon for holding an end of a connector tube. The connector tube includes two ends, each end preferably being connected to a respective hub member to retain the connector tube in contact with the syringe. Preferably, the syringe and the connector tube are packaged in a pre-connected condition for ease of use by the customer. Furthermore, flexible inlet tubing for connection to a syringe for filling the syringe with contrast media, for example, is described. The inlet tubing permits filling of the syringe from either a bag or a bottle and may remain attached to the syringe so that it forms at least a part of the connection to the patient. In addition, an apparatus for facilitating the purge of air from a connector tube that will ultimately be connected between a syringe and a patient is described. The apparatus includes a purging tube connected to the distal end of the connector tubing from the syringe. The purging tube includes a venting cap at its distal end. A flow inhibitor is positioned under the venting cap to cooperate with the venting cap by discouraging the discharge of fluid from the distal end of the purging tube while permitting the discharge of air therefrom.</p> |
