Abstract
Abstract A sliding stopper for a syringe, consisting of a rubber elastic body having the part to be contacted with a liquid medicament and the part sliding on the inner wall of a barrel fully laminated with a film of tetrafluoroethylene resin, ethylenetetrafluoroethylene resin or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin, and having an excellent liquid tightness and gas tightness. The ratio of the length (Y) of the surface of the outer circumferential part of the sliding stopper contacting the inner wall of the barrel to the length (L) of the sliding part of the sliding stopper, i.e. Y/L is in the range of 0.80 to 1.00, and the ratio of the length (L) of the sliding part to the outer diameter (D) of the sliding stopper, i.e. L/D is in the range of 0.25 to 1.00.
