Abstract
Abstract A holder for standard syringe assemblies for administering fluid medication hypodermically. The holder includes, in combination, a plurality of adapter portions each for receiving one of a plurality of different sized standard syringe assemblies, such as known disposable standard syringe assemblies. The adapters having identical connecting portions for connection onto the end of an elongated handle which has inner and outer telescoped members. The inner telescoped member of the handle is movable into abutment with the outer end of the plunger portion of the syringe assembly to force medicant through the needle portion of the syringe assembly when the handle and adapter are moved lengthwise to cause the adapter to engage a body and then cause the telescoped handle to collapse.
