A syringe body for a syringe for injecting a highly viscous medium has a hollow cylindrical configuration, forms a chamber configured to receive the highly viscous medium, and includes: a distal end portion; a proximal end portion having an opening through which a piston rod arrangement is insertable into the chamber; and a Luer lock connector formed at the distal end portion, the Luer lock connector having an outer cone with a further opening configured to dispense the highly viscous medium and a sleeve-shaped portion with an inner thread. The syringe body has a minimum NPO resistance of over 90 N.
