BREECH LOADED SYRINGE AND METHOD OF BREECH LOADING SAME

摘要

A syringe wherein a piston is moved axially through a tubular barrel to deliver liquid medicament and the like outwardly through a needle connected through an inner end of the barrel. A control is provided for selectively deforming the piston to permit the barrel to be preloaded with the liquid medicament through the breech end thereof with the piston being brought into engagement with the liquid while a fluid bypass passage is provided around the piston to the breech end of the barrel, thereby to vent air outwardly from the space between the piston and the liquid medicament during the insertion of the piston.
