Abstract

The security assembly is designed to be fitted to a syringe comprising a body provided with one end for connection to an injection needle and one end for inserting a piston. The security assembly comprises a member for fitting to the body of the syringe so as to be constrained axially relative to the body, and a security cap for covering the injection end of the body, the cap being provided with a proximal portion for connection to the fitted member and a distal portion for releasing the injection end and connected to the connection portion by frangible means. The fitted member forms a member that is designed to retain the piston inside the body.
