ABSTRACT:
A safety needle assembly for locking over a hypodermic needle to inhibit inadvertent contact with the hypodermic needle includes a tube being configured to receive an end of the syringe and being in fluid communication with the syringe. A hypodermic needle is fluidly coupled to and extending away from the tube. A cap is selectively positioned over and covering the hypodermic needle. The cap is positioned in either a covered position or an exposed position. The covered position is defined by the cap being positioned over a portion of the tube and a free end of the hypodermic needle to inhibit access to the hypodermic needle. The exposed position is defined by the cap being positioned away from the hypodermic needle to expose the free end of the hypodermic needle.
