Abstract: A pivotal syringe needle holder for use with an injector includes a hub and a ball. A needle is supported by the ball which, in turn, is movably supported by the hub so as to permit the needle to be angularly displaced relative to the hub. The hub is engageable with the injector. The ball and hub are configured to form a ball and socket arrangement which cooperatively permits medicant to be communicated therethrough. A contact seal is formed between the ball and hub to prevent loss of medicant therefrom. A physical seal which may be provided supplemental to, or in place of, the contact seal. A needle may be formed as an integral element of a disposable syringe needle holder or a non-disposable syringe needle holder may support a disposable needle. The ball may be manipulated to displace the needle in a desired position relative to the hub and then may be substantially fixed in this desired position.
