The invention is a syringe with a retractable needle, comprising a syringe housing having a bore, a needle assembly within the bore, and a plunger assembly extending into the bore. The plunger assembly has a rectangular key. The needle assembly has a key hole which matches the key, so that the key may be inserted into the key hole. After conventional use the plunger is rotated to lock the key within the key hole, and the plunger withdrawn to retract the needle through a resilient elastomeric seal into the syringe, rendering it inoperable and harmless.
