ABSTRACT:
A needle retraction device for removing a needle from a patient. The needle retraction device comprising a housing having an exterior wall which defines an interior compartment. A slidable member, having a pair of spaced apart movable legs separated from one another by an elongate slot, is located within the interior compartment. The pair of spaced apart movable legs are also spaced from a remainder of the slidable member by a cavity or area which is sized to receive needle therein. The slidable member is movable from a first position, in which the pair of spaced apart movable legs are located outside of the interior compartment of the needle retraction device for receiving a needle, and a second retracted position, in which the pair of spaced apart movable legs along with a supported needle, are completely retracted inside the interior compartment of the housing to prevent an inadvertent needle stick.
