Safety guard comprises a one-piece component in which the needle is held by a spring strip (6), preventing contact with the needle tip. The needle is deployed to give an injection or to take a blood sample by pushing its side with a short rod on the end of a flexible cord attached to the guard, the rod being inserted through a hole in the guard.
