ABSTRACT:
A needle cover assembly is provided that incorporates a drug applicator therein. The needle cover assembly includes an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve is formed from a hard material and acts as a needle shield. The inner sleeve also includes an absorbent material thereon that can absorb a drug such as an antimicrobial agent. This allows the absorbent material to be swabbed on the patient's skin prior to puncturing with a needle. The outer sleeve covers the absorbent material and prevents evaporation of the drug from the absorbent material.
