A retractable syringe needle comprising a needle assembly including: a needle-holding mechanism comprising a hub and an annular sleeve connected with said hub; a hypodermic needle extending through said hub; and a pin directly connected to the exterior surface of said annular sleeve; a container having a tubular wall with a longitudinal slot therein, said container having a first open end adapted to receive a syringe barrel and a second open end adapted to admit a syringe needle, said container having said needle assembly mounted therein so that the pin is slidably engaged by the longitudinal slot, so that said needle assembly may be moved from a first position where the needle is within the container to a second position where the needle is exposed by sliding the pin toward the second open end of the container and causing the needle to pass through the second open end; a means for biasing the needle assembly toward said first position; and a means for releasably engaging the pin at a defined location in said longitudinal slot so as to hold said needle assembly in said second position; wherein said means for releasably engaging the pin comprises a notch which intersects said longitudinal slot at said defined location, so that said needle assembly may be releasably held in said second position by sliding said pin out of said longitudinal slot into said notch.
