ABSTRACT:
A protective apparatus, for a hypodermic syringe having a barrel and a needle has an elongated sleeve slidingly engaging the barrel of the syringe. There is a L-shaped locking and guide groove on the barrel of the syringe. A locking and guide tab on an inside wall of the sleeve slidingly engages and traverses the locking and guide groove. A locking slot, in the locking and guide groove, receives and locks the locking and guide tab in place to discourage further use of the syringe by limiting further longitudinal movement of the sleeve along the barrel of the syringe. There is a first seal, in one end of the sleeve which abuts the inside wall of the sleeve and abuts an outside wall of the barrel of the syringe, to seal the one end against the barrel of the syringe. A second seal, in another end of the sleeve, seals around an outer wall of the needle when the sleeve is in a retracted position on the barrel of the syringe. The second seal also seals off the another end of the sleeve when the sleeve is in an extended position on the barrel of the syringe. A break-away needle cover is releasingly attached by a plurality of filament-like arms to the another end of the sleeve to protect the needle prior to use of the syringe.
