ABSTRACT:
The safety device for a needle includes a sheath reception opening provided in a cap retainer member or provided in a hand shield portion of the device. The cap retainer member in one embodiment is joined to the hand shield section and in another embodiment is secured to a pair of legs joined at right angles. In another embodiment the cap retainer member is used by itself with an adhesive provided on a base surface thereof. A manually engageable gripping portion is provided at the base surface of the hand shield portion in another embodiment, with a handle extending from the gripping portion beyond the periphery of the hand shield portion. In a further embodiment the handle extends from the hand shield portion. In another embodiment a plurality of cap retainer members are joined to the hand shield portion. In still another embodiment a sheath holding opening is provided in the handle portion. Some embodiments of the safety device can be hand-held and used on a support surface. Other embodiments can be used only on a support surface. All embodiments permit the hand which normally holds the protective sheath of a syringe to be isolated from a zone of high risk. Embodiments of the device that are secured to a support surface can be operated with one hand. Use of the handle to stablize the device on a support surface further isolates the hand from the zone of high risk.
