Prefillable syringes and injectors for use therewith
First Claim
1. A syringe for use with an injector having at least two pairs of retaining flanges, the syringe comprising:
- a main body defining an axis; and
at least two pairs of mounting flanges operably associated with the main body, a first pair of mounting flanges being positioned in a first plane substantially normal to the axis of the main body and a second pair of mounting flanges being positioned in a second plane substantially normal to the axis of the main body, the at least first and second pairs of mounting flanges being radially offset from one another and cooperable with the at least two pairs of retaining flanges to releasably engage the syringe with the injector.

Abstract
The present invention provides prefillable syringes and injectors for use therewith that expand and/or facilitate a variety of medical procedures involving the injection of a liquid medium. In several embodiments, the present syringes and injectors enable the use of current syringe materials at higher pressures than previously attainable or the use of other materials not previously usable with current high pressure-syringe and injector designs. In one embodiment, a syringe comprises an elongated cylindrical main body having a first pair and a second pair of mounting flanges encompassing collectively an arcuate length equal to at least approximately 180° of the circumference of the rear portion of the cylindrical main body for releasably mounting the syringe in a desired position relative to the front wall of the injector housing. Injectors for use with such syringes comprise a housing having a front wall and a retainer on the front wall which cooperates with the first and second pairs of mounting flanges of the syringe to releasably mount the syringe on the injector.
