Patent ID: 6936034

Claim:
An insulin syringe with magnified sheath, comprising: a syringe including a needle, a barrel and a plunger with said barrel having dosage indicia thereon; and a sheath being cylindrical, constructed of a transparent, magnifying material, and dimensioned to surround said barrel of said syringe; said sheath being slidably coupled with said barrel of said syringe; said sheath being constructed for axial rotation around said barrel; and said sheath being constructed for longitudinal movement between a retracted position in which said sheath is disposed over said barrel with said needle exposed for use, and an extended position in which said sheath surrounds said needle thereby preventing inadvertent needle sticks; wherein, when in its retracted position, said sheath magnifies said dosage indicia on said barrel of said syringe regardless of rotational position of said sheath relative to said barrel.
