Abstract
A syringe includes a barrel having a proximal end, a distal end having a distal tip defining a channel, and a sidewall extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The syringe also includes a tip cap removably connected to the distal tip of the barrel restricting fluid flow from the channel. The tip cap includes a connector configured to receive the distal tip of the barrel forming a friction engagement with the distal tip, a cap shield connected to and extending about the connector, and a release tab extending proximally from the cap shield that secures the tip cap to the barrel. A prefilled flushing syringe including a predetermined volume of a fluid disposed within the barred of the syringe, as well as methods for expulsion of fluid from the syringe and of assembling the syringe and tip cap are also disclosed herein.
