  • Syringe finger grip
    Patent number: 10537683
    Abstract: A finger grip for receiving and retaining a syringe body of an injection syringe. The finger grip is easily pressed directly onto the syringe and employs a centering feature and a pair of one way, flexible latches that allow easy attachment to a syringe body yet ensures retention during normal and abnormal use. If a high horizontal component force is applied during normal or abnormal use, the finger grip will not become disconnected in an uncontrolled fashion from the syringe body, which might cause injury and/or damage to a patient being injected. The flexible latches may prevent detachment of the finger grip from the syringe below separation force of about 25 lbs.
