A puncture shield formed by an arched plate (1) to be received in the inside/palm of a hand and designed to have its longitudinal outer ends curved upwards/inwards (3, 4) extended in two upper sides (7, 8) forming an upper plane (9), comprising two planes said upper sides (7, 8) thereof sloping back towards a centre of a structure (6) a cross section thereof corresponding to the shape of an airplane wing turned upside-down, the design of the sloping upper sides (7, 8) directing a needle, if erroneously directed/placed, back towards the centre of the structure (6), so as to protect the user during the taking of samples, said upper sloping sides (7, 8) being rounded off (11, 12) from both sides vertically downwards towards an upper side (16) of a lower plane (2) of said arched plate and being separated by a distance of approximately 10 mm at said upper plane (9), the design forming a groove defined by surfaces (17, 18) pointing vertically downwards and said upper side (16) of the lower plane (2) of said arched plate, said groove receiving the umbilical cord in the longitudinal direction, and being produced from a material providing flexibility of the vertical even side surfaces (17, 18) defining said groove sufficient to provide a manual power holding function of the umbilical cord placed therein. |
