a syringe barrel having a proximal end and a distal end, and a needle extending from said distal end of said syringe barrel; and
a shield member positioned on a body coupled to said syringe barrel for moving between a first position where said needle is exposed a first length and a second position covering a portion of said needle where a second length of said needle is exposed that is less than said first length, and said shield member has a retaining mechanism configured for retaining said shield in said second position, and said shield member is movable by rotation or sliding in a transverse direction relative to said body when the shield member is in the second position to retain said needle shield in said second position exposing the second length of the needle.
