Abstract
A method and apparatus for lubricating stoppers prior to their insertion with syringe barrels is provided. A pair of lubricating wheels are provided which have opposing stopper contact surfaces. Each wheel is partially positioned within a reservoir so that, upon wheel rotation, lubricant within the reservoir is transferred to a wheel engaging the stopper contact surfaces.
