A syringe comprising: a barrel including a fluid chamber , a proximal end, a distal end defining a roof surface defining a face facing said proximal end including an opening therethrough, and an elongate tip extending from said distal end including a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with said opening and said chamber ; a plunger slidably disposed within said barrel , said plunger including a plunger head , plunger head face surface that faces said roof surface ; and a plunger rod including a longitudinal axis, a proximal portion and a distal portion connected by a breakable connection , said distal portion including said plunger positioned in fluid-tight engagement with an inside surface of said chamber for drawing fluid into and out of said chamber by movement of said plunger relative to said barrel , characterized in that a first protrusion disposed on said roof surface of the barrel adapted to prevent face-to-face contact between said plunger head surface and said roof surface of the barrel, wherein the roof surface does not contact the plunger head ; a channel formed between the first protrusion and a gap between the plunger head and primary roof surface , wherein the channel is not in fluid communication with the passageway wherein spray from the fluid within the channel is reduced; wherein the breakable connection is designed to hold the proximal portion and the distal portion together during delivery of a medication from the syringe, wherein excess distally directed force on the plunger rod causes the breakable connection to fail and the proximal portion becomes mechanically disengaged from the distal portion of the plunger rod when the plunger head contacts the first protrusion , which marks the most distal extension of the plunger rod with respect to the barrel . a barrel including a fluid chamber , a proximal end, a distal end defining a roof surface defining a face facing said proximal end including an opening therethrough, and an elongate tip extending from said distal end including a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with said opening and said chamber ; a plunger slidably disposed within said barrel , said plunger including a plunger head , plunger head face surface that faces said roof surface ; and a plunger rod including a longitudinal axis, a proximal portion and a distal portion connected by a breakable connection , said distal portion including said plunger positioned in fluid-tight engagement with an inside surface of said chamber for drawing fluid into and out of said chamber by movement of said plunger relative to said barrel , characterized in that a first protrusion disposed on said roof surface of the barrel adapted to prevent face-to-face contact between said plunger head surface and said roof surface of the barrel, wherein the roof surface does not contact the plunger head ; a channel formed between the first protrusion and a gap between the plunger head and primary roof surface , wherein the channel is not in fluid communication with the passageway wherein spray from the fluid within the channel is reduced; wherein the breakable connection is designed to hold the proximal portion and the distal portion together during delivery of a medication from the syringe, wherein excess distally directed force on the plunger rod causes the breakable connection to fail and the proximal portion becomes mechanically disengaged from the distal portion of the plunger rod when the plunger head contacts the first protrusion , which marks the most distal extension of the plunger rod with respect to the barrel . <EOS>
