The present invention relates to pre-filled tamper evident syringe
assemblies, including a tubular syringe body with a nose portion for
receiving a hollow needle communicating with the interior of the syringe
body, a needle cap for protecting at least the nose portion and a label
bonded to an outer surface of the syringe body. The tamper evident
feature of such an assembly is provided by a simple construction.
Therefore, at least a portion of the needle cap adjacent to the syringe
body is of essentially the same diameter as the syringe body, and the
label of the syringe body extends onto the needle cap and is bonded
and/or positively engaged thereto, so as to produce evidence of tampering
when the needle cap is removed.
