The present invention is directed to kits comprising syringe assemblies having detachable needle assemblies, as well as shield apparatuses to protect the needle assemblies. The syringe assemblies are configured to minimize the dead space after deployment of the syringe and injection of the material in the syringe into a patients body, as well as to include detachable needle assemblies, such that different needle assemblies can be interchanged on a single syringe barrel.
