Abstract: The needle protection holder encloses an automatically retractable safety syringe and needle within a tubular cylinder after the needle has been used. Its intended purpose is to remove a needle attached to a syringe from a patient, both human and animal, thereby containing the needle safely within the holder or cylinder. With such a construction, the holder prevents the exchange of bodily fluids caused by needle sticks which are known to cause serious illnesses including death to medical technicians and personnel.
