<p>A safety shield (10) for a needle assembly (12) which includes a cover (26), a mount (34) and a hinge (48) forming a shield body (24). The shield body (24) defines a cavity in which a needle assembly (12) having a needle (14) and a luer hub is positioned. The mount (34) includes a socket (38) for receipt of the luer hub (16) while the cover (26) includes a retainer for coupling with the needle assembly (12). A hinge (48) includes a living hinge between the cover (26) and the mount (34). A tab encloses one end of the mount (34). Both the cover (26) and the tab (56) are associated with the mount (34) by means of frangible webs to define a sealed body. A flexible tear strip extends over the cavity to fully seal the body.</p> |
