Abstract: A liquid dispensing syringe and method for reducing piston bounce includes a barrel and a piston. The barrel defines an interior reservoir having an inner surface. The piston is disposed within the interior reservoir and has a proximal end and an elastic portion configured to expand under the influence of a pressurized gas. A first circumferentially extending wiper seal is positioned on the piston. The first wiper seal liquidly seals against the inner surface. A second circumferentially extending wiper seal is positioned on the piston proximally from the first wiper seal on the elastic portion. As such, the expanding elastic portion forces the second wiper seal to fluidly sealing against the inner surface for inhibiting the pressurized gas from flowing distally beyond the second wiper seal in order to reduce piston bounce.

Abstract: A syringe for holding fluids susceptible to void formation when frozen and thawed before use. The interior surface of the syringe sidewall may be roughened, which serves to prevent or significantly reduce the incidence of void formation in the fluid. The required level of surface roughening for counteracting void formation may be reduced by increasing the sidewall flexibility. Alternatively, the flexibility of the syringe sidewall may operate over certain thickness ranges to prevent or significantly reduce void formation in the fluid without intentionally roughening the interior surface.

Abstract: Syringes for holding fluids susceptible to void formation when the syringe and fluid are frozen and thawed before use. The interior surface of the syringe barrel is modified by exposure to a plasma such that the incidence of void formation in the fluid is prevented or, at the least, significantly reduced in comparison with conventional syringes.
