ABSTRACT:
A needle protective device has a tubular member (14) with an end cap (16). One end (12) of the member (10) engages on needle hub (22), and the other end has a cap (16) with an opening (34). The tubular member is flexible and has cut-outs (18) in its wall. Normally the needle (26) is directed away from the opening 34) so that the needle tip is enclosed by the cap (16). To use the needle, the end cap (16) is displaced to bring the needle alongside guide ribs (38) and the tubular member (14) compressed axially to expose the needle (26) through the opening (34).
