<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safety device alternative for a hypodermic needle. <P>SOLUTION: The medical safety device includes a needle hub having a needle supported thereon; and a safety shield operatively mounted on the needle hub. The safety shield includes a pair of spaced legs and a foot member. Each of the legs includes a distal segment and a proximal segment. Each of the proximal segment includes a proximal end hingedly attached to the foot member and a distal end hingedly attached to the distal segment at the hinge member. The respective proximal segment includes a camming surface. The safety shield further includes a trigger supported on the foot member. The trigger includes a safety shield movable so as to trigger the movement of the leg from a first position to protect the distal end of the needle by the distal end of the distal segment to a second position to at least partially expose the distal end of the needle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
