That credit goes to Colin Murdoch who invented the modern day plastic disposable syringe in the 1950s. (along with child proof medicine containers and the tranquillizer gun). It is often claimed that an African American (Phil Brooks) invented the first disposable syringe. This claim is incorrect and may be influenced by a desire to promote notable African Americans.

It can rightly be claimed that Brooks was the first person to receive a US Patent for a disposable syringe.
