ABSTRACT:
A safety device for a hypodermic needle or for a similar instrument used in the clinical puncture of the skin comprises a sheath (6, 25 or 32) adapted to be connected to the needle (5, 21 or 33) or to a support (4 or 31) for the needle. The sheath is so connected in a first position (FIG. 1A, 2A, or 3A) which permits normal use of the needle and can be placed, by movement relative to the needle (FIG. 1B or 3B) or by folding upon itself (FIGS. 2B and 2C) in a second position in which the needle is encapsulated by the sheath. The sheath is retained in that second position, for example by a projection (9, 27 or 35) extending into a slot (10 or 36) or through an aperture (28).
