A needle retraction device for removing a needle from a patient. The needle retraction device comprising a housing having an exterior wall which defines an interior compartment. A moveable member, having a pair of spaced apart movable legs or shoulders, separated from one another by an elongate slot, is located within the interior compartment. The pair of spaced apart movable legs or shoulders are also spaced from a remainder of the moveable member by a cavity or area which is sized to receive a coupling hub of a needle therein. The moveable member is movable from a first position, in which the pair of spaced apart movable legs or shoulders are located outside of the interior compartment of the needle retraction device for receiving a needle, and a second retracted position, in which the pair of spaced apart movable legs or shoulders, along with a supported needle or needle assembly, are completely retracted inside the interior compartment of the housing to prevent an inadvertent needle stick.
