ABSTRACT:
A sleeve cover for an injection needle assembly or I.V. catheter assembly is slidably engaged to a hub and urged toward its protective position by a spring. A longitudinal groove in a side wall of the sleeve cover guides a pin protruding radially from the hub between protective and unprotective positions. When the sleeve cover is shifted rearwardly by the spring, the needle is exposed, and the sleeve is held by a locking mechanism projecting from the hub. When the locking mechanism is released, the cover shifts to its protective position. The needle assembly or I.V. catheter assembly may then be safely resealed for disposal.
