Abstract
A stand for use with a syringe is disclosed. The stand includes a base and a clip affixed to the base. The clip engages a portion of the syringe so as to removably secure the syringe to the stand in a position such that the distal end of the syringe is spaced vertically away from the base. Preferably, the syringe includes a handle extending outwardly from a barrel of the syringe, and the feature which the clip engages includes the handle of the syringe.

A method of preparing a syringe to deliver a material, comprising:
- placing a stand on a surface, the stand having a base adapted for stable resting on the surface and having a support structure adapted to engage a portion of the syringe;
- and
- engaging the portion of the syringe with the support structure so as to removably secure the syringe to the stand in a supported position in which a distal portion of the syringe has a vertical position above a vertical position of a proximal portion of the syringe, the distal portion of the syringe being configured to dispense the material therefrom, and the proximal portion of the syringe having an opening at a proximal end thereof sized to slidably receive a plunger rod therethrough, wherein the syringe includes a barrel extending between the distal portion and the proximal portion, and wherein the supported position of the syringe is such that the barrel is oriented at an oblique angle relative to the surface.
