An endcap for a hypodermic syringe is disclosed. The endcap is comprised of a sheath and a base section. The sheath, having a proximal and distal end, is hollow and resiliently deformable and has a slit extending substantially the length of the sheath. The proximal end of the sheath is open. The base section is attached to and extends radially outwardly from the periphery of the sheath's proximal end. The base section is disposed opposite of the slit and includes two spaced apart outwardly extending leg supports.
