Abstract:
1. A safety syringe support system and syringe combination comprising, in combination, a) a syringe comprising a body and a piston having a head portion with an inner periphery and a needle attached at a distal end of the syringe; b) a first sheath; c) a second sheath, where the first and second sheaths are configured to move relative to each other from a start position to a final position, where one of the sheaths has an inside portion configured to accept and hold the syringe, and where each sheath has a proximal end opposite a distal front end; d) at least two resilient tongues extending axially and proximally from the proximal end of one of the sheaths where each tongue terminates in a ramp having a first bearing surface that is configured to engage a second bearing surface on the inner periphery of the head portion of the piston of the syringe at an end of stroke of the piston to cause the tongues to flex radially allowing the sheaths to move relative to each other from the start position to the final position.
