A syringe and needle hub for a syringe has distal patient-facing side having a surface for contact with the subject's skin during injection. The contact surface is formed by a distal face of a post supporting a cannula and an outer collar surrounding the post. The axial distance between the distal face of the post and the distal face of the collar provided a contact surface with a radius of curvature to control the desired injection. The syringe barrel can have finger flanges extending outwardly where the flanges have a tactile member such as a dimple projecting from a proximal face of the flange and recess in a distal face of the flange.
