摘要:
A safety shield apparatus is provided that includes a housing that defines acavity. A distal end of the housing includes a cover having a movable tab. Ahub is disposed for movement within the housing and includes a needle having adistal end and a movable projection. The hub is biased between an extendedposition, such that the distal end of the needle is exposed and the movableprojection is releasably disposed with the cavity, and a retracted positionwhereby the distal end of the needle is disposed within the housing. Themovable tab is engageable with the movable projection to release the movableprojection from the cavity to facilitate movement of the hub. The distal endof the housing may define a lip that is configured to capture the distal endof the needle. The hub can define an angled distal surface to orient theneedle out of axial alignment with the housing and into capture with the lip.
