Abstract
A single-use device for injection includes a pre-filled syringe with a front nose which supports an injection needle which is protected by a protective cap, and a syringe body which accommodates the syringe. The device further includes a joining piece with claws which can be extended radially to cover and grasp the protective cap by penetrating the cap. The syringe body includes a front section, which can be separated, that is delimited by a breakable area. The front section includes a neck that clamps the tabs of the joining piece onto the protective cap.
