• a plunger slidably disposed within said barrel, said plunger having a thumb end and a washer end, said washer end configured to create a seal between said washer end of said plunger and said interior wall of said barrel;
• a retractable needle slidably disposed within said needle end of said barrel, said needle and said needle end of said barrel further configured to create a seal between said needle and said needle end of said barrel, said needle functionally attached to said plunger,
• said retractable needle sized to allow said needle to be fully withdrawn into said barrel by retraction of said plunger;
