  • Patent number: 8585650
    Abstract: The invention relates to a needle stick guard for an anti-needle-stick puncturing kit for positioning a catheter according to the Seldinger technique, including a rocker having a journal so as to enable same to rotate about an axis, and an outer tip for locking the needle stick guard together with a base of another element of the puncturing kit. The rocker comprises three positions: a position in which it is locked together with another element of the puncturing kit; a position in which it is unlocked from the other element of the puncturing kit; and a protection position for trapping a sharp end of a needle in the guard.
