ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,491,320, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Jean-Francois Roiron (Paddington, Australia).

"Syringe with a conformable handle" was invented by Jean-Francois Roiron (Paddington, Australia).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A syringe with an arcuate plunger handle that can conform to either the inside or the outside of the barrel. This ensures that the plunger pushes straight, and in conjunction with the plunger head being hinged allows the handle to be folded onto the outside of the barrel to minimise volume. A rotatable cap attached to the handle covers the dispensing end of the syringe and seals the tip."
