ABSTRACT:
A needle extractor is provided which has top and bottom members which include top and bottom blades for inserting between a shank portion of a needle assembly and a patient's skin surface. The top blade has a longitudinal gutter or channel for positioning and aligning the shank portion of the needle assembly and a vertical finger projection with a notch for retaining tubing coupled to the needle assembly. The blades have a common slot for receiving a needle portion of the needle assembly. Each member also has a handle for gripping the extractor. The top member is pivotally attached to the bottom member such that when the blades, being generally disposed parallel to each other and substantially overlapping, are inserted between the shank portion and the skin surface, and the top blade is pivoted relative to the bottom blade, the needle assembly is removed from the skin surface.
