Abstract:
1. A syringe holder for holding an inserted cylindrical syringe, with a cap attached to a male luer provided at the distal end thereof, comprising a generally cylindrical barrel portion having an open distal end and an open proximal end, and a finger rest projecting in the lateral direction from the outer surface of the barrel portion at a position relatively closer to the proximal end of the barrel portion, wherein a female-threaded sleeve is provided which extends forwardly from the distal end of the barrel portion, the female-threaded sleeve being provided with a thread designed to surround the male luer provided at the distal end of the syringe and the cap attached to the male luer, and wherein a proximal end cap is provided, at the proximal end of the barrel portion, the proximal end cap being designed to cover the proximal end of the barrel portion and to abut on the outer edge of the proximal end of the syringe to block backward movement of the syringe, and the proximal end cap having a bore through which to pass a piston rod that is to be connected to a gasket in the syringe and wherein the barrel portion consists of a distal portion and a proximal portion which are separately connected with each other at a site forward of the finger rest in a manner that rear part of the distal portion covers the front part of the proximal portion, wherein a stopper is provided at the inner surface of the barrel portion at the distal end thereof, the stopper being designed to abut on the outer edge of the distal end of the syringe to block forward movement of the syringe, wherein the stopper is of a shape and dimensions that do not block the passage of the cap upon insertion of the syringe into the syringe holder, and the distal portion of the syringe holder is removable from the proximal portion of the syringe holder with the cap being kept attached to the luer tip of the syringe, and wherein the stopper does not intrude into the inside of a cylindrical surface defined by the top of the thread of the female-threaded sleeve.
