Abstract

A retractable needle syringe includes a barrel defining a receiver. There is a plunger having an inner rod extending distally from the proximal end. The plunger includes a hollow sleeve that is disposed over and extend beyond an inner rod.
The plunger includes a hollow cutter extending from the inner rod and a stopper disposed over the end of the sleeve. The plunger has a displaceable collar to prevent movement of the inner rod with respect to the sleeve, that is by distal force to the plunger by engagement with the proximal end of the barrel allowing the cutting surface to cut through the stopper. There is a hub with a stem, a proximal flange and an engagement. A
clip having a proximal foot with an opening therethrough and a distal grip is disposed on the stem of the hub. The proximal foot of the clip is disposed at the distal surface of the flange and the grip at the engagement on the stem. There is a spring disposed about the stem compressed between the receiver and the clip to provide a bias, so that when sufficient force is applied to the plunger causing the cutting surface to cut through the stopper, the cutting surface then engages, cuts through the flange to engage the clip and cause the clip to release the engagement on the stem. This allows the spring to urge the hub to a position within the syringe.

5. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 1 wherein said proximal end of said barrel further includes a finger flange for assisting a user's grip of said syringe during use.
6. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 5 wherein said finger flange further includes a shroud having an inside diameter disposed and shaped to received a removable cap for covering said plunger and wherein said receiver at said distal end of said barrel is shaped to receive a removable shield for protecting said sharp distal point of said needle.
7. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 6 wherein said cap and said shield are frangibly attached to said shroud and said shroud and said receiver respectively, so that neither said cap nor said shield are removable from said shroud and said receiver respectively without disruption of said attachments, thereby providing a positive evidence to user that once said cap and said shield are positioned on said shroud and said receiver, they have not been removed prior to the intended use, thereby providing a "tamper-evidence" and substantially prevent passage of microorganisms into said fluid path of said syringe, said syringe being exposed to conditions that render any microorganisms therein substantially non-viable.
8. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 7 wherein said plunger further comprises a proximal finger press having an outside diameter and wherein when said distal force greater than the force required to expel fluid from the chamber is applied to said plunger, said finger press substantially irreversibly enters said shroud, thereby substantially preventing said plunger from being inadvertently removed.
9. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 8 wherein said shroud further includes a proximal inwardly projecting shoulder defining an inside diameter less than said outside diameter of said finger press, thereby providing an interference fit between said shroud and said finger press so that when said user applies the distal force greater than the force required to expel fluid said chamber, said interference is overcome and said finger press substantially irreversibly enters said shroud thereby being retained by said shoulder.
10. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 1 wherein said spring is formed from a metallic material shaped into an elongate coil.
11. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 1 wherein said hollow cutter and said clip are formed from a metallic material.
12. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 11 wherein said metallic material for forming said hollow cutter and said clip is stainless steel.
13. The hypodermic syringe of Claim 12 wherein at least one of said hollow cutter and said clip are each subjected to a secondary process selected from the group consisting of electro-chemical processing, deburring, grinding, honing and combinations thereof after forming.
