ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A SYRINGE
First Claim
1. An assembly for use with a syringe having a barrel and a needle extending from a distal end thereof, the assembly comprising:
- a sealing element surrounding and positioned over at least a portion of the distal end of the syringe;
an adapter at least partially surrounding the sealing element and positioned over the distal end of the syringe, the adapter including;
a first skin contacting surface positioned at a distal end of the adapter, at least a portion of the first skin contacting surface extending generally parallel to at least a terminal end of the needle, anda second skin contacting surface positioned proximally relative to the terminal end of the needle and at an angle to the first skin contacting surface; and
a needle shield at least partially surrounding and removably positioned over at least one of the adapter, the sealing element, and the syringe barrel.

Abstract
An assembly for use with a syringe having a barrel and a needle includes a sealing element surrounding and positioned over at least a portion of the distal end of the syringe. An adapter at least partially surrounds the sealing element and is positioned over the distal end of the syringe. The adapter has a first skin contacting surface positioned at a distal end thereof. At least a portion of the first skin contacting surface extends generally parallel to at least a terminal end of the needle. The adapter also has a second skin contacting surface positioned proximally relative to the terminal end of the needle and at an angle to the first skin contacting surface. A needle shield at least partially surrounds and is removably positioned over at least one of the adapter, the sealing element and the syringe barrel.
