Abstract
A retractable safety syringe that retracts the needle cannula into the plunger module and destroys the syringe to prevent reuse or an accidental needle prick by destroying the plunger barrier and the cannula barrier within the syringe. The needle cannula is released into the plunger module by shearing the cannula barrier and plunger barrier with an internal annular shear and cutter head. The needle cannula module may be replaced with a layer or smaller needle cannula module thereby allowing a greater selection of needle cannulas.
