ABSTRACT:
A needle cap and shield. An needle cap is provided with a continuous expandable shield. The shield is collapsible and thus it is capable of being easily packed and shipped. When released by the user, the shield expands into a fully protective needle shield which provides protection to the user from needle sticks. The shield does not have any voids or open areas, and is thus fully protective to the user. Also, in one embodiment, a flat edge segment is furnished; this flat edge enables the cap and shield, or a recapped syringe with cap and shield, to be securely positioned on a flat surface without danger of rolling away.
