Abstract:
The hand grip device of the present invention is designed for use with an associated syringe having a plunger stem with a push and pull flange at a terminal end of the plunger stem. The hand grip device includes a grip portion extending generally the width of a hand and having opposite ends. A C-shaped bracket portion includes two arms and a push bar. Each arm is connected to the opposite ends of the grip portion and the push bar connects the two arms so as to be generally parallel to the grip portion. A pull bar is spaced from and parallel to the push bar. The pull bar is cantilevered from conveniently the lower bracket arm and has a V-shaped slot extending away from the cantilevered arm for slidably engaging the push-pull flange of the associated syringe.
