Abstract

The prefilled single-dose syringe 10 in the application features a barrel 11 provided with an narrowed-diameter portion 27 or neck and a rim surrounding its opening; a nozzle 12 equipped with finger stubs and a needle-carrying ferrule 13 transpierced by an axial channel 31; and a stoppering device 23 featuring an elastomer stoppering cork mounted at the end of a bracing ferrule that is attached to the bottom of the nozzle. This lower end of the bracing ferrule fits onto a collar, in the shape of a truncated cone, that is part of the bottom of the nozzle. This collar serves as a support for a membrane microfilter 28, which is pressed between the opposing surfaces of the bracing ferrule and the filter-carrying ferrule.
