A
syringe includes a body having a distal end, a proximal end and a center section therebetween. The distal end of the
syringe body includes a conical portion that extends and tapers from the center section to an injection neck forming a
discharge outlet. The proximal end of the
syringe body includes a radial expansion section and an outward extending lip. An inner
diameter of the radial expansion section is larger than an inner
diameter of the center section and the outer
diameter of the radial expansion section is smaller than an outer diameter of the center section. A
plunger is movably disposed in the syringe body and includes a pair of
coupling members defining a slot therebetween, the
plunger being substantially seated in the radial expansion section in a pre-use state of the syringe. An alignment
flange is formed on the conical portion and extends the distance between the center section and the injection neck. The alignment
flange defines an internal hollow area therein in fluid communication with the interior of the syringe body, which is adapted to collect air bubbles that are present within the interior of the syringe body.
