ABSTRACT:
A needle guard for a syringe or other instrument with a sharp point is disclosed having a protective sleeve with a fitting, and having a retracted position and a locked extended position, that may be used with or added to a conventional syringe and needle assembly. Prior to and during use of the needle, the sleeve remains in a retracted position covering the barrel of the syringe. After the needle has been used, the sleeve is pushed forward into its locked extended position, so that the end of the sleeve extends beyond the tip of the needle. The tip of the needle is thereby shielded, preventing accidental sticks.
