ABSTRACT:
An improved needle guard is provided for quick and easy mounting onto a syringe to protect against accidental or inadvertent contact with a hypodermic needle. The needle guard comprises a generally cylindrical sleeve of relatively lightweight yet relatively stiff plastic material formed in a tubular configuration and longitudinally split to define adjacent marginal edges which may overlap. These longitudinal marginal edges are adapted for sufficient separation at a front or distal end of the guard sleeve to permit sliding press-fit placement of the guard sleeve onto the syringe barrel, in a position surrounding a hypodermic needle protruding from the syringe barrel. A lock member such as a thumbscrew is mounted on the guard sleeve adjacent the rear or proximal end thereof, and can be manipulated to engage and lock with the syringe barrel in a position with a forward or distal end of the guard sleeve surrounding and protecting the hypodermic needle against inadvertent or accidental contact.
