Abstract:
The syringe with an adjustable needle shield is a reusable syringe, such as for applying anesthetic to a patient during a dental procedure, with a sliding needle shield, allowing the exposed length, or application length, of the needle to be selectively adjusted. The syringe with an adjustable needle shield includes an elongated hollow barrel having opposed open and closed ends, a medicament cartridge removably received within the elongated hollow barrel, and a hypodermic needle. A first end of a plunger rod is slidably received within the elongated hollow barrel and is adapted for selectively compressing a sliding plunger end of the medicament cartridge. A cylindrical shield is provided for selectively and adjustably covering the hypodermic needle. The elongated hollow barrel slidably engages the cylindrical shield such that the cylindrical shield adjustably covers a desired portion of the hypodermic needle.

Claim (Index 7):
The syringe with an adjustable needle shield as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the hollow cylindrical mount has an axial length less than an axial length of the shield.
