A device for protecting a syringe needle (5) comprises a blind sheath (10) having a passage means (19) provided by longitudinally extending flexible lips (18) which open in response to a force exerted through the needle (5) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the needle to permit the needle (5) to pass into the interior (14) of the sheath (10). The provision of the passage means guards against accidental needle strike, the device can be made in one piece of a suitable plastics material by injection moulding and can be fitted to currently available syringe barrels. |
