Abstract: A needleless syringe that provides the necessary high pressure, is easily generated despite the utilization of relatively thin-walled glass ampules for storing an injectable medicine. A plastic body of the needleless syringe contains an interior space surrounded by walls. The interior space is divided into a first region with one end open to the outside and an adjoining second region. A glass ampule containing a medicine, which is sealed at both ends with plunger-type stoppers, is disposed in the first region. The second region contains an output opening leading through the wall of the plastic body. A ram is provided with which the stopper that is averted from the second region can be pushed into the glass ampule and into the second region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a needle guard assembly for the needle part of a syringe body in the form of a needle guard that covers the needle and which is displaceable on the syringe body in the longitudinal direction, and with a grip plate being integrally formed on that end of the syringe body remote from the needle. The needle guard assembly includes a syringe body ending with a needle. A piston rod in the syringe body has a receiving part and a push-in part that telescopes into the receiving part. A syringe-body grip plate is integrally formed on the syringe body. The syringe-body grip plate opposes the needle. A needle guard is arranged longitudinally along the syringe body and covers the needle when the needle guard is displaced longitudinally.
