Abstract
A syringe for hypodermic biopsy featuring automatic plunger-return is set forth herein. It comprises a cylindrical body (1) furnished with a central cylindrical chamber (9)--the latter surrounded by an annular cavity (8)--inside which a plunger (13) consisting of two coaxial cylindrical bodies (14 and 15) with respective fore-end seals (19 and 20) is caused to slide, and in so doing create a fluid/airtight seal; the inner cylindrical body (15) of said plunger (13) carrying the moving core (6) of a hypodermic needle (7) should this be employed to the end of impeding entry into the latter of foreign bodies. Automatic return of the plunger (13) is produced either by expansion of the air compressed within said annular chamber (8) by outer seal (19) during the plunger's (13) forward stroke, or by introduction from without of pressurized fluid into said annular chamber via an entry hole (22), or alternatively, by fitting a spring (21) to the fore-end of said plunger outer cylinder (14), thereby dispensing with the seal (19).
