ABSTRACT:
A device for unsheathing and resheathing multiple syringe needles is disclosed. The syringe has a needle and a removable sheath covering the needle. The sheath has a predetermined cross sectional dimension. The device has a housing having a plurality of sheath retaining bores and a rotatable shaft extending through the housing. A plurality of paired opposed locking members extend about the shaft and are located so as to straddle a sheath placed into the sheath retaining bore. At least one of the locking members is angled with respect to the other such that the distance therebetween is less than the cross sectional dimension of the sheath at a first position and greater than the cross sectional dimension of the sheath at a second position. Preferably, each locking member is in the shape of an ellipsis. In operation, a sheathed needle is inserted into a sheath retaining bore in the housing and is positioned between opposed locking members. Rotation of the shaft moves the opposed locking members between the first position so as to grip or engage the sheath, and the second position so as to release or disengage the sheath. When the sheath is engaged, a user may apply a force to the syringe and remove the needle from the sheath or reinsert the needle into the sheath.
