The invention relates to a needle safety device (28) for a medical device, the needle safety device (28) comprising: a base portion (30) having a bore extending along a longitudinal center axis therethrough for receiving a needle (24); and two opposing jaws (34, 36) extending from the base portion (30) generally in the axial direction and each having a head portion (38, 40) in the region of its free end, wherein the needle safety device includes a locking projection (50) for securing the needle safety device (28) to the medical device. The needle safety device according to the invention further provides at least one elastic element (44) mounted to the jaws (34, 36) in a non-surrounding manner lateral to the center axis in a region between the base portion (30) and the head portions (38, 40), wherein the at least one elastic element (44) and the jaws (34, 36) are configured such that the jaws (34, 36) can be spread apart against a restoring force of the at least one elastic element (44) in order to allow the needle (24) received in the bore to extend all the way through the needle safety device (28). |
