A protection assembly to protect medical personnel from being inadvertently punctured by the pointed end of a medical needle of the type normally associated with a syringe, catheter assembly or I.V. administering structure. An elongated sleeve like shield is selectively positionable from a non-covering position to a covering position relative to the needle by manipulation of the shield sleeve, using a single hand of the user of the subject assembly, due at least in part to the existence of a biasing structure disposed to normally bias the shield towards the covering position.
