Abstract: A syringe and syringe package system comprises a syringe barrel having an open proximal end and a distal end and a syringe stopper placed in the open proximal end of the syringe barrel. The system includes a shape-changeable package, the syringe barrel and the syringe stopper contained within the shape-changeable package, wherein the shape-changeable package comprises a web of material sized and arranged to contain the syringe barrel and the syringe stopper and configured to be converted to a plunger rod that engages the syringe stopper and is translatable within the open proximal end of the barrel.

Abstract: A single-use medical syringe has a syringe lock that prevents repeated syringe aspiration and dispensing of fluids to patients. A pivoting syringe lock is coupled to the proximal open end of the syringe barrel. The syringe lock has or more cantilever lock forks in continuous, biased, sliding, abutting contact with the plunger. Each lock fork engages a corresponding plunger detent oriented on a proximal end of the syringe plunger, after the plunger is fully advanced within the syringe barrel. The plunger remains locked in an advanced position within the syringe barrel while each lock fork is engaged in its corresponding plunger detent. In some embodiments, a removeable plunger clip is coupled to the syringe to prevent inadvertent advancement of the plunger into the syringe barrel and premature locking of the syringe prior to administration of medication to a patient.

Abstract: A connector safety shield configured to engage a needle free connector comprises a push cap slidably mounted on an external enclosure cap that encloses a spray chamber containing disinfectant that can be pushed multiple times out of perforations in the bottom of the spray chamber and onto the distal end of the needle free connector by action of a stopper mounted in the spray chamber and operably connected to the push cap. The connector safety shield also comprises a bottom enclosure cap that can engage the needle free connector and thus lock the connector safety shield onto the needle free connector. A hinge connecting the bottom enclosure cap and the assembly of the external closure cap, spray chamber, and push cap allows the assembly of the external closure cap, spray chamber, and push cap to be rotated out of connection with the needle free connector such that the needle free connector can be connected to another device or object such as a syringe or other vascular access device.
