  • Patent number: 6379335
    Abstract: A device for after-use protection of a hypodermic needle, particularly of the butterfly type, comprising an elongated flat laminar element having, at one end and on two sides, two laminas which are mutually spaced by a longitudinal central space and are folded toward the laminar element in order to form two blind lateral flat guides for the sliding of the butterfly wings of the needle. The blind lateral flat guides are slightly curved away from the surface of the element and are adapted, when the needle retracts, to press its point so that it slides against the surface of the central band of the element in order to wedge into spaces that lie between raised saw-toothed teeth on the band in order to prevent the escape of the needle.
