ABSTRACT:
A syringe shield and cap holding device is provided which allows a syringe cap to be safely removed and placed back on a syringe needle without exposing a user's hand or fingers to the needle. The device includes a handle and a cap receiving element which releasably secures the cap so that a user can remove and insert the syringe needle without danger of pricks or scratches. The cap receiving element is generally defined by a U-shaped member having a bottom leg, an intermediate curved web, and a top leg, with the legs frictionally engaging the syringe cap until a user laterally removes the cap from the cap receiving element. Rearward axial movement of the cap is prevented by a cap catch which engages the syringe cap when in the U-shaped member.
