Abstract:
Apparatus for use with medication in fluid form, which is particularly beneficial for medications having a relatively high viscosity. The disclosed syringe adapter has an opening that is relatively large, as compared to a conventional needle, and thus affixing the disclosed syringe adapter to a syringe improves syringeability of higher-viscosity medications. When the disclosed syringe adapter is affixed to a pistol-grip or tab-handled syringe, the medication withdrawn into the pistol-grip syringe can be more easily administered from the syringe barrel. In some embodiments, the syringe adapter will be replaced with a needle prior to injecting the medication, while in some other embodiments, the needle is affixed to the in-place syringe adapter for the injection. In yet other embodiments, the needle is affixed to a needle holder that, in turn, is affixed to the in-place syringe adapter for the injection.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for administering higher-viscosity fluid medication, comprising:\n a syringe; a syringe adapter as recited in  claim 1 ; and a needle, the needle configured for connecting to a distal end of the syringe subsequent to use of the syringe adapter for the withdrawing and subsequent to removal of the syringe adapter from the distal end of the syringe, the needle further configured for injecting, into a recipient, at least a portion of the fluid medication withdrawn into the barrel.
