ABSTRACT:
An arrangement of needle shield is provided which may be attached to the hub of a syringe or multiple blood sample holder, which shield is flexible and moves out of the way of the needle point for insertion into the skin, and which moves automatically over the contaminated needle at the instant the needle is removed from the skin for shielding the user from accidental needle stick. The arrangement is in one piece and includes an elongated hood-like body which surrounds the needle, and includes at one end a blunt front end shield, and at the other end a mounting ring for frictionally engaging the hub of a needle holder or syringe. The body includes an integral lock which snaps over the needle for holding the shield body of the invention over the contaminated needle.
