Abstract: A syringe hub comprises a hub body which is engagable with a syringe body, a needle held by the hub body, a movable bung element within a flow passage of the hub body, and at least one fixed engagement element which extends laterally to the longitudinal extent of the flow passage and which is non-releasably engagable with the bung element to block a flow path defined by the hub body and the needle. The movable bung element including a cap element which extends laterally to the longitudinal extent of the flow passage and a splayable engagement element which extends from the cap element. The splayable engagement element includes a plurality of legs. A syringe which has a syringe body and the said syringe hub is also provided.

Abstract: The protector comprises a protective element, e.g. a cap (16), movable in use along the implement between an inoperative position in which it exposes the pointed end or sharp edge portion of the implement and an operative position (FIG. 3) in which it covers the pointed end or sharp edge portion of the implement. The protector also comprises a holder (15) for fitting to the implement and a device, e.g. arm (17), connecting the protective element to the holder to in use allow the protective element to move along the implement between the inoperative and operative positions but to prevent separation of the protective element from the implement. In a preferred embodiment, the protective element flips into a tilted position to prevent unintentional movement of the protective element from its operative to its inoperative positions.
