Claim 14

The syringe of claim 10 wherein said barrel extension member is curved from said first end thereof to said second end thereof, and thereby said lumen of said extension member is curved, and said piston rod extension is flexible to follow said curved lumen of said extension member as said piston rod is moved axially in said lumen of said barrel member.

Claim 15

The syringe of claim 8 wherein said first coupler means is an externally threaded collar attached to said barrel member, and said further coupler means is an internally threaded collar to cooperatively and releasably attach said barrel extension member to said barrel member.
