ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a kit for handling a needle. The kit comprises a shielding device, a protector, and a needle guard. The shielding device protects against needle strikes upon extraction of the needle, the protector protects against needle strikes while inserting the needle, and the guard sheathes the needle prior to use. The shielding device includes a cavity for depositing a used needle therein and a self-closing passageway which permits the needle to enter the cavity but prevents the needle from exiting the cavity. The protector comprises a ring and a shroud. The ring has a central aperture for stabilising the patient's skin and an implanted venous access device. The shroud is joined to the ring and protects the health care worker against needle strikes while inserting the needle. The needle guard comprises a barrel having a longitudinal slit therein which is separable upon insertion of the needle into the patient's skin to permit the needle guard to be shed from the needle.
