Abstract
A syringe for use in connection with a pre-filled medicament cartridge that is sealed on one end by a pierceable seal and on the other end by a plunger supported therein. The syringe includes a plunger rod for axially advancing the plunger within the cartridge to discharge the medicament therefrom. The plunger rod is also attachable to the syringe body prior to use. A sheath is provided to cover the portion of the double ended cannula that protrudes from the syringe body. The sterile syringe body/plunger rod and sheath assembly serve to maintain the sterility of the cannula prior to use.
