In one aspect of the subject invention, a grip is provided for mounting to a syringe, the grip including: an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis between first and second ends, the first end defining a female luer fitting configured for mounting onto the syringe, an inlet opening being defined in the female luer fitting, the second end defining a male luer fitting defining an outlet opening, and, a liquid passageway defined through the body between the inlet opening and the outlet opening to allow liquid flow therebetween. The body further defines an outer surface encircling the longitudinal axis, the outer surface being at least partially textured.
