Abstract
A syringe assembly includes a syringe body, needle assembly, retaining clip, gasket, needle latch, and needle hub. The syringe body has a syringe interior, longitudinal axis, proximal and distal ends, and needle attachment interface disposed at the distal end thereof. The gasket is configured to be compressed to provide a liquid-tight seal around an outer diameter of the needle assembly and the distal end of the syringe body. The needle latch assembly includes first and second latching tabs configured to retain the needle assembly in a close state and to be plastically deformed to an open state to release the needle assembly, and a gasket backstop configured to provide a flat surface for compression of the gasket, where the first and second latching tabs are spaced apart from the gasket such that neither of the first and second latching tabs contact the gasket during compression of the gasket.
