ABSTRACT:
A needle stick protection device includes a housing and a locking member positioned within the housing to permit the selective locking of the needle relative to the housing. The locking member includes a spring biased strip having first and second upwardly extending arms connected by a central base member. The first and second upwardly extending arms are biased relative to each other and respectively include a first needle aperture and second needle aperture. A release member is associated with the locking member for facilitating the controlled release of a needle locked in position by the locking member. The release member engages the first upwardly extending arm and the second upwardly extending arm such that selective movement of the release member causes the first and second upwardly extending arms to move between a first locking position and a second release position.
