ABSTRACT:
A protective sheath for encasing a hypodermic needle before and after use includes a funnel-shaped guard at one end to guide a needle into the sheath and protect the user's fingers in the process. The sheath is composed of a tubular sleeve having relatively rigid tube sections at each end and a flexible intermediate section. After a hypodermic needle has been used, the needle is inserted into the protective sheath and the sheath with the encased needle is bent to decommission the needle and capture the needle within the sheath for disposal.
