ABSTRACT:
A hypodermic type needle cover assembly for covering a hypodermic type needle attached to a butterfly needle holding assembly as soon as the tip of the hypodermic type needle is withdrawn form the patient. To ensure the cover remains over the tip of the hypodermic type needle, the cover assembly includes a needle retaining mechanism that allows the needle to easily enter a needle receiving cavity of the cover assembly but provides resistance to the needle moving out of the cover assembly where it could prick and possibly contaminate a health care worker.
