ABSTRACT:
A syringe needle guard is adaptable to the common syringe to provide for protection against accidental needle sticks. The adaptable needle guard provides a safety sleeve for use over any standard syringe without any modification to the syringe itself. A sleeve arm is provided on the sleeve and projects upward to lie substantially at the same level as the syringe's plunger. This allows the arm to be pushed down to cover the needle with only one hand. The sleeve temporarily locks in place to secure the sleeve in either an extended protective position or in a withdrawn needle exposing position. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention the syringe can be modified at the time of manufacture to contain the safety sleeve and plunger.
