A needle shield remover is presented having a generally tubular body with a longitudinal extension and a number of grip elements arranged at a distal area of the body, where the grip elements extend radially inwards from a circumference of the body. At least one longitudinally extending cut-out in the body and adjacent to the grip elements engage an outer surface of a needle shield when the needle shield remover is pushed onto the needle shield, where the at least one cut-out enables a generally radial outwardly bias of the grip elements during the pushing action to facilitate mounting of the needle shield remover on the needle shield.
