## Abstract

A compartmentalized syringe configured to retain both the medicine and the flushing solution in the same housing. At least one smaller fluid or solid containing container will be added inside the flush housing and will separate its content(s) from other fluids or solids inside the flush housing. The shape of the housing and inner containers can be similar with the outer syringe flush with channels to facilitate the flow of fluids and they can also be of different shapes which will automatically create channels to allow the flow of fluid. An opening in the syringe plunger configured to receive a medicine vial.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A syringe, comprising:
a plunger having a shaft, said shaft of said plunger having a flange located opposite a sealing structure, said sealing structure having a first side located opposite a second side, said first side of said sealing structure having a first piercing element, said second side of said sealing structure connected to said shaft of said plunger;
a barrel, said barrel having a chamber receiving said sealing structure of said plunger; and,
a first container, said first container is retained within said barrel, said first container retaining a substance, said first container is configured to be punctured by said first piercing element when a user depresses said plunger within said barrel of said syringe;
wherein said first container includes at least one longitudinal channel located on an outer wall surface of said first container to allow for the substance to move along the outer surface from a proximal end to a distal end of the first container.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The syringe of claim 1, wherein said first container is collapsible.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The syringe of claim 1, wherein said plunger having at least one recess retaining an alcohol pad.
