ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an assembly of a protective shield for a needle channel and a self-sealing diaphragm, wherein the protective shield is generally cup-shaped and is provided with an aperture, said self-sealing diaphragm being retained in the aperture, the arrangement being such as to protect the fingers of the operative from needle-stick by the miss-direction of a hypodermic needle. The diameter of the aperture may approximate to, or be smaller than, the internal diameter of the inlet of the needle channel so that only is needle-stick obviated, but also the tendency of the needle point to tear the seal-sealing diaphragm is significantly reduced.
