Abstract
A molding assembly for molding a syringe with a needle embedded therein includes a first mold portion and a second mold portion. The second mold portion includes a molding block, an end plate and a needle holding block configured to hold the needle. The assembly moves between an opened position in which the first mold portion is displaced from the second mold portion, and a closed position in which the molding block and the end plate define a molding cavity configured to form a body portion of the syringe, and the first mold portion contacts the second mold portion to hold the needle holding block adjacent to the molding cavity, such that the needle is partially positioned within the molding cavity.
