PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safe indwelling needle where a used needle can simply be disposed and held in a slide cover without any contact with the needle in order to eliminate the fear of a needling accident. SOLUTION: A grip cover 3 consists of a cylinder having both of its ends opened, and has a slit 3a formed on the side of the end of the longitudinal direction. The slit 3a is communicated with the end opening 3b of the cover 3 and allows blade pieces 5 projecting at the outer periphery of the slide cover 4 to be moved slidably. Furthermore, a locking mechanism 7 for preventing the cover 4 from coming off is formed at the side of the end of the cover 3. The cover 4 is formed in a size so that the needle 1 projecting from the cover 3 can be covered with it. The blade pieces 5 consist of the first blade piece 5a projecting on the outer peripheral surface of the cover 3 and the second blade piece 5b projecting at the cover 4 to expose the needle 1 at a position where both of the blade pieces 5a and 5b oppose each other and to dispose-house the needle 1 in the cover 4 at a position where both of the blade pieces 5a and 5b are separated from each other. |
