Appl. No.:

09/652374

Inventors:

Richard Caizza - Barry Lakes NJ
Simon Cohn - North Arlington NJ
Jonathan Gabel - Randolph NJ

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61M 500

US Classification:

604110, 604195

Abstract:

A hypodermic syringe with a selectively retractable needle includes an elongate barrel having an open proximal end, an open distal end and a hollow bore. The syringe includes an elongate plunger including a hollow outer housing having an open proximal end and an open distal end. The plunger has a hollow inner sleeve defining a cavity therein. The plunger has releasable engagement elements preventing relative axial movement between the outer housing and the inner sleeve, the elements allowing the relative axial movement when released and a distal stopper. There is an open cutter mounted at a proximal end of the inner sleeve to cut through the stopper to expose the cavity in the inner sleeve when the engagement elements are released and sufficient distal axial force is applied to the plunger. The syringe has a hub housing with an open proximal end having an inwardly projecting shoulder, a hub with a proximal flange and an axial stem, sized to fit within the hub housing. There is a spring disposed about the stem between the flange and the shoulder.
