<p>A device for assisting blind or partially blind diabetics to load a hypodermic syringe with insulin comprises an annular guide member 24. The member 24 has a frusto-conical internal surface 26, which converges smoothly from a relatively large inlet 28 for receiving the needle of the syringe to a relatively smaller outlet 30. A part- cylindrical resilient skirt member 36 projects coaxially downwardly from the periphery of the member 24, and is adapted to fit over and coaxially surround a typical cylindrical insulin bottle, thereby locating the member 24 such that the outlet 30 is close to and aligned with the entry into the bottle. The guide member 24 thus guides the needle into the entry of the bottle. <IMAGE></p> |
