Abstract
A disposable plastic syringe sleeve (2) is disclosed. The syringe sleeve (2) is adapted to receive the body (42) of a conventional glass hypodermic syringe (40), which glass hypodermic syringe (40) has a luer tip (44) extending therefrom. A threaded section (10) formed at one end (12) of the syringe sleeve (2) cooperates with the luer tip (44) of the glass hypodermic syringe (40) and the threads (54) on a hypodermic needle (52) to provide positive luer locking for the needle 52. An enlarged finger grip (20) with a retaining mechanism (32) is formed at the other end (24) of the syringe sleeve (2). The retaining mechanism (32) operates to retain the glass hypodermic syringe (40) in position after the syringe sleeve (2) has received the syringe body (42).
