A catheter assembly for intravenous therapy includes a protective shield to protect health care personnel from inadvertent injury. The protective shield can be selectively positioned on the assembly to permit manipulation of a needle member of the assembly so that the needle member can be withdrawn from an associated tubular catheter member. After the needle member is withdrawn, it is received within the shield member, and is substantially enclosed therein so that the needle member can disposed of without injury to personnel.
