Abstract: A sterile syringe including a cylindrical housing and a plunger positioned therein movable axially, the housing including a headwall defining a headwall aperture therein which is selectively registrable with a mated aperture defined by a cap member which extends over the head of the syringe, the cap member is mounted upon a stem in the center thereof which secures it to the center of the housing of the syringe, the stem allows relative rotation between the cap member and the syringe housing to selectively align and misalign the aperture in the cap with respect to the aperture in the housing, the end of the cap and the headwall of the housing being slightly spaced from one another to define an insulating space therebetween in which is positioned a sealing member such as a rubber grommet which seals the chamber within the syringe housing whenever the aperture in the headwall of the housing is not aligned with the aperture in the cap due to the cap being rotated slightly with respect to the housing, the aperture

Abstract: A syringe device for use with drawing blood or other fluids directly into a sealed sterile environment for culturing which includes a hollow housing defining the syringe chamber therein, further including a movable piston adapted for longitudinal sliding movement within the syringe chamber such that when the piston is withdrawn a partial vacuum is created within the chamber and blood is drawn therein, further including at least one culture cavity defined in the walls of the housing and opening into the chamber within the housing and being adapted to contain therein particularly chosen culturing media in accordance with the particular tests being conducted, further including a sealing means about the periphery of the movable piston such that after the fluid has been drawn into contact with the culturing cavities the piston may be moved back upwardly to seal the culturing media with respect to the outside environment and with respect to the chamber within the syringe to allow for a sterile culturing of the flui

Abstract: A sterile syringe device for withdrawing or expelling fluid by means of a hypodermic needle and hermetically sealing the fluid located within the syringe, the sterile syringe including a generally cylindrically shaped housing having a plunger means therein to act as a piston to define a reservoir for the storage of fluid therein, a nipple positioned at one end of the housing to facilitate the expelling or insertion of fluid with respect to the reservoir, the nipple defining an interior passage such as a flue or the like to provide fluid flow communication between the nipple and the reservoir, the nipple adapted to have detachably affixed thereon a hypodermic needle, further including a rotationally movable outer seal positioned in abutment with the interior of an end of the housing and formed integrally with the nipple, also including a slot through which the nipple extends in order to facilitate rotational movement of the nipple and outer seal, further including an inner seal having an aperture therein selec
