Abstract
A safety syringe assembly is provided which can be united for use and disposed thereafter in a safe manner. Accidental punctures and cross-contamination from used needles are eliminated by use of the retractable needle and removable shroud. The syringe assembly is efficient in operation, low in cost and the method of use is easily learned due to the relatively small number of syringe components employed.
