<p>An automatic needle retracting mechanism (1) for a hypodermic syringe (2) comprises a body (3) which slidingly supports a needle (27). A retainer (9) for an actuator (8) and the needle (27) is kept in a retaining position by a spacer (11), which after some time in contact with an injectant loses its mechanical strength. A filing of the needle with an injectant causes a deformation of the spacer (11), a release of the actuator (8) and a retracting of the retainer (9) and needle (27) into a needle retraction chamber (4). The needle retracting mechanism may also include an inner sleeve (20) which is manually movable towards the retainer (9) for a manual release of the actuator (8). The needle retracting mechanism may be included in a needle holder (33) or integrated in a syringe (2').</p> |
