Abstract
A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel defining a chamber and having a stopper disposed within the chamber, a sleeve having a first end and a second end and extending at least partially about the syringe barrel, and a cap associated with a second end of the sleeve. The syringe assembly also includes a plunger rod having a first end associated with the cap and a second end, wherein the plunger rod is transitionable from a pre-use position, in which at least a portion of the second end of the plunger rod extends along a portion of a barrel sidewall, to a ready-to-use position in which the plunger rod is aligned with the stopper. Upon proximal movement of the sleeve in a direction away from a first end of the barrel, the plunger rod is configured for lateral movement with respect to the cap into the ready-to-use position.
