  • Patent number: 4489766
    Abstract: A device is shown for filling a syringe with a desired quantity of medicine, such as insulin, and is particularly useful for blind people or people with impaired vision who cannot read or see the volume markings on a syringe. The device has an elongate body with a syringe recess for retaining a syringe in position. A bottle recess is provided in the elongate body for sliding a medicine bottle onto the needle of the syringe. The elongate body has a gauge recess adjacent to the position where the syringe plunger would be located allowing the syringe plunger to be fully extracted. A plurality of retractable spacers of different thicknesses are located in the gauge recess to limit the extraction of the syringe plunger and thus gauge or control the quantity of medicine drawn into the syringe. The spacers are rearrangeable and removable to preselect the medicine dosage filling the syringe.
