Abstract:
A system for performing a procedure with syringes, the system comprising:a set of syringes, wherein each syringe in the set comprises: a hollow elongated syringe barrel defining a chamber containing a composition therein, and plunger means for advancing the composition contained within the chamber, wherein the length of the plunger means relative to the length of the chamber yields a ratio which is no less than about 1.5:1; and a rack adapted for holding the set of syringes, the rack having a base surface adapted to rest on a flat surface, the rack having a plurality of spacing elements configured such that a pair of spacing elements defines a cradle and such that the rack has a plurality of cradles, each cradle having opposing sides that integrally extend to a bottom to yield a slot configuration for easy removal and placement of the syringe barrel and to enable a user to simultaneously view the entire length of each syringe barrel held in the cradle while the syringe barrel rests on the bottom of the cradle, each cradle being configured such that the syringe barrels held in the cradles are in a plane that is parallel to that of the base surface of the rack and to a flat surface on which the base surface is resting.
