ABSTRACT:
A shield device for use in sheathing a hypodermic needle includes a pair of flap members which are hinged to a central elongate narrow plate within which an open mouth of the sheath is defined. The flap members are hinged on either side of the central plate so that they can move from a retracted position lying parallel and on respective sides of the central sheath to a deployed position in which they form with the central plate a protective shield to hide fingers of the user from pricking as the needle is inserted into sheath. The flap members are retained in the retracted position by a simple latching arrangement which is released by compression of the flap members. The sheath and shield can be packaged as a disposable item in conventional manner with the disposable needle and needle base and can be used without modifying traditional handling techniques.
