Non-mechanical syringe and needle assembly needle guard

A non-mechanical needle guard for permanently securing and incapacitating a single used syringe and needle assembly consists of a sleeve for receiving the needle and luer lock and the hub end of a syringe. The sleeve contains a two part adhesive, the two elements being separated by a penetrable membrane, with the opened end of the sleeve being sealed by a second membrane. A stand holds a number of the needle guards in a stable, upright position so the needle may be inserted with a single hand, as required by OSHA. As the needle penetrates the two membranes, the two elements of the adhesive combine, permanently securing the needle and syringe end in the cured adhesive. The needle guard of the present invention secures and incapacitates the used needle and syringe in a manner meeting OSHA's disposal safety standards.

Syringe needle cover

The invention is a syringe needle Protection Cover, including a Needle Hub to secure the needle base and a side-opening cover with an Axial Slot to protect the needle. The needle is at the center of the needle base, and a Longitudinal Member forms a side-opening cover that integrates with the Needle Hub at one side via a Hinge. The Longitudinal Member opens easily and locks closed securely. When the Protection Cover is in the closed position, it is difficult to force open, thus making it difficult to reuse a needle. The protection cover gives users more than one visual indication that a needle has been used, locks in a closed position with multiple locking structures, and after use, deforms the needle so as to render it non-reusable.

Protection device for syringe needle

This invention relates to a protection device for a syringe needle comprising an elastic needle cap of general longitudinal direction presenting a closed distal end and an open proximal end, said cap being formed by a lateral wall defining an inner housing intended to receive the distal part of the body of a needle syringe, and by an end wall capable of being pierced through a part of its thickness by the free end of said needle. The housing comprises, from said proximal end, an opening, a first portion, a second portion intended to house the distal part of the syringe body which bears said needle, and a third portion which narrows from said second portion in the direction of the back of said housing. The lateral wall is further provided with an annular bead disposed in said housing between said first and second portions of said housing.

Safty hypodermic syringe and needle holder for same

A needle holder used in a safety hypodermic syringe, including a hollow cylindrical body having a rear coupling structure adapted to receive a front retaining tip of the plunger of the safety hypodermic syringe with which the needle holder is used, wherein the needle holder has at least one movable unit and at least one engagement unit respectively connected to the hollow cylindrical body, the at least one movable unit being alternatively shifted between an extended-output status where the at least one movable unit is respectively disengaged from the at least one engagement unit, and an inwardly squeezed status where the at least one movable unit is respectively forced by an external force into engagement with the at least one engagement unit.
