Safety angled indwelling needle and a protective shield for a safety angled indwelling needle

摘要

A safety needle device including a right angled Huber needle and a protective shield. The protective shield includes a central hub having a passageway and a pair of wing members. The distal end of the needle projects out of the passageway perpendicular to the hub. Each of the wing members is a generally planar member mounted to the central hub so that each can be flexed from an open state, wherein they are generally coplanar with each other, to a closed state, wherein they abut each other with the distal portion of the needle disposed between them to enclose it. The wing members also include plural connectors for cooperation with each other to hold the wing members in the closed state.
