Abstract:
A safety syringe ( 100; 700; 1200 ) comprising: a barrel ( 104; 704; 1204 ) having an opening at an end thereof; a syringe plunger ( 108; 708; 1208 ) configured to move within the barrel such that an inward stroke of the syringe plunger causes a substance within the barrel to be expelled from the opening; and a sheath ( 112; 712; 1212 ) configured to cover at least partially the opening in the barrel after use of the syringe, wherein the sheath is coupled to the syringe plunger and is configured to decouple from the syringe plunger at a point on the inward stroke such that the sheath is moveable independently of the syringe plunger and further movement of the sheath after decoupling at least partially covers the opening in the barrel.

Claim (Index 17):
A safety syringe according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rate controlling arrangement engaged between the safety plunger and barrel, the rate controlling arrangement acting against the inward stroke of the safety plunger to limit the rate of travel of the inward stroke after the safety plunger and syringe plunger have decoupled.
