HUBER NEEDLE WITH ANTI-REBOUND SAFETY MECHANISM

摘要

A safety needle device (10) for protecting a user against inadvertent needle - stick injury. This needle device includes a needle housing (18) having a distal housing opening (78). An arcuate groove (34) extends within the needl e housing terminating adjacent the distal housing opening. A needle (16) is disposed within the arcuate groove having a distal needle portion (14) extending away from the needle housing through the distal housing opening. A n elongate sheath assembly (12) surrounds the needle within the groove. A biasing member (82) is disposed within the needle housing and is configured to move the sheath assembly throughout the length of the arcuate groove and through the distal housing opening. The sheath assembly then completely encloses the distal needle portion.
