  • Patent number: 11587463
    Abstract: A reusable safety syringe training device is provided. The device comprises a syringe contained within a syringe protective member. The syringe protective member is movable vertically within an outer protective sheath from a first position to a second position and back to the first position. In the first position, the device is in an injection-ready position with the needle exposed and the syringe protective member in a locked vertical position with respect to the outer protective sheath. In the second position, the device is in a post-injection position such that the syringe protective member is no longer vertically locked with respect to the outer protective sheath and has moved vertically upward thereby rendering the needle within the outer protective sheath. The plunger carries a release flange sufficient to engage release latches that otherwise retain the syringe protective member in the first position.
