ABSTRACT:
Designed for use primarily with needles carrying radioactive material in which the syringe is inserted into a radiation shield, the device includes a freestanding support having a planar shield on the upper end of a stem extending upwardly from a base. A central aperture through the shield and into the stem includes an upstanding portion having a chamfered outer end. The lower end of the radiation shield surrounding the syringe includes an inwardly tapered or chamfered bore so that self centering takes place as the syringe and needle is inserted into the stem. The device also allows one handed insertion of the syringe and needle into the sheath which is in the bore of the stem leaving the other hand free to attend or support the patient. If held by the stem in the other hand, the shield prevents the needle from engaging the hand or fingers of the operator as the needle is reinserted into the sheath.
