The clip may have a 10 depending heel (34) to help pivot the clip about a ledge (72) to grip the needle shaft. A needle support (80) may be provided to limit flexure of the needle which might otherwise allow the needle to come loose from the clip. Arrangements (300, 302) for limiting rotation of the needle hub and needle guard housing are provided, as is a protective shroud (320) to reduce the risk of inadvertent activation of the needle guard. Further, the is needle guard may be used with a catheter assembly (200). Also provided is an improved duckbill release mechanism (260, 268).
