Claim 0:
1. A kit for accurately loading a small volume dose of medication within a syringe and for delivering the small volume dose of medication at a treatment site, the kit comprising:
a syringe including a plunger and a barrel for holding a medication, the plunger including a plunger rod, a plunger flange at a proximal end of the plunger rod and a plunger seal at a distal end of the plunger rod, wherein the barrel is sized to receive a length of the plunger rod and the plunger seal therein;
a syringe delivery ring including a lumen and a sidewall opening that extend from a proximal end to a distal end thereof, the sidewall opening being configured to permit the plunger rod of the syringe to be slidably received within the lumen of the syringe delivery ring, and the syringe delivery ring further including a proximal segment and a distal segment, wherein the proximal segment has a smaller outer diameter than the distal segment;
a syringe loading guide including a proximal-facing surface, a distal-facing surface, and a coupling archway configured to attach to the proximal segment of the syringe delivery ring during loading, wherein a first height of the syringe loading guide is greater than a second height of the proximal segment of the syringe delivery ring; and
a medication for loading within and for delivery by the syringe, wherein a difference between the first height of the syringe loading guide and the second height of the proximal segment of the syringe delivery ring corresponds to a distance the plunger seal travels within the barrel of the syringe to deliver a small volume dose of the medication.
