A catheter syringe conveyor with a needle guard housing is adapted for facilitating the insertion of a catheter into a targeted blood vessel. A catheter syringe is slidably situated within the slot of the housing, allowing the technician to maneuver the syringe up and down within the housing. In one embodiment, a stabilizer attached to the bottom of the housing holds the blood vessel in place while a syringe is maneuvered within the housing. After the blood vessel is penetrated by the needle of the syringe, the technician maneuvers a catheter pusher to lower the catheter into the blood vessel. After the catheter is inserted, the technician is able to slide the syringe back up within the housing, to move the needle within the protective walls of the housing for safety; a syringe lock holds the syringe there for safekeeping.
