ABSTRACT:
A camouflaged injection needle is disclosed including a shaft, a flexible ellipsoid tip at one end of the shaft and a sharp needle tip positioned within the flexible tip and axially aligned with the shaft. The sharp needle tip is capable of piercing through the flexible tip and into an outer human tissue when the flexible tip is positioned on the outer human tissue and the shaft is urged in the direction of the outer human tissue. The injection needle is camouflaged to resemble a cotton swab. This reduces pre-injection anxiety of the patient.
