ABSTRACT:
A safety needle cap comprising a generally cylindrical, hollow tubular body section having a closed first end and an open second end for receiving the needle, and a funnel-shaped lip surrounding the open end and projecting radially and axially outwardly to channel needles into the open end and protect fingers gripping the cap. The cap further having a guard extending from the body section intermediate the two ends to intercept needles missing the funnel-shaped lip, and positioned to space the fingers away from the open end, out of danger. The guard may be flat and disk-shaped or it may be funnel-shaped, opening toward the open end to trap errant needles.
