Abstract: The present application discloses a needle tip shielding device for protection of a needle tip of a needle. The needle tip shielding device comprises a fixing arrangement having a proximal side and a distal side, which fixing arrangement is comprising at least one engaging element, which engaging element is resilient and resiliently striving from a compressed state towards an expanded state, in which expanded state the shortest distance between a point of said engaging element and the central axis of said needle tip shielding device is longer than the shortest distance between said central axis and any other point of said needle tip shielding device. A catheter instrument comprising the needle tip shielding device and a method for manufacturing is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a catheter instrument 1000 comprising a needle tip shielding device 100, a catheter hub 200 and a needle unit 300, wherein the needle unit 300 is provided with connecting means 301 for connection to the catheter hub 200, and with connecting means 302 for connection to an external device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a catheter instrument 1000 comprising a needle tip shielding device 100. The needle tip shielding device 100 is comprising a body with a rear side 106, a front side 107, an outer surface 108 connecting the rear side 106 and the front side 107, a hole 102 extending from the rear side 106 to the front side 107, a resilient arm 103 extending at an attachment point 105 from the front side 107 of the body, and a longitudinal arm 112. The resilient arm 103 has a resting state, from which it may be forced to yield free passage through the hole 102 in an axial direction of the body. The resilient arm 103 is adapted for protecting a needle tip 304 of a hollow needle 303 extending through the hole 102 in a direction from the rear side 106 to the front side 07, when the resilient arm 103 is in the resting state. The resilient arm 103 has one external point of contact, the point of contact being a contact with the hollow needle 303 when the hollow needle 303 is in a forward position.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a needle guard (100) for protecting a needle (210) from accidental contact, comprising; a spring loaded needle shield (110) being pivotable from an open position in which the needle shield (110) is separated from the needle (210) to a closed position in which the needle shield (110) is enclosing and protecting the needle (210); and a mounting base (140) having a constant spatial relationship with the needle (210) when the needle guard (100) is being used, the mounting base (140) being movably connected to the needle shield (110) for enabling movement between the open and the closed position; wherein the needle shield (110) is having a passive state and an active state, the needle shield (110) being urged towards the closed position when in the active state. Methods of manufacturing the needle guard (100) and a needle guard assembly comprising the needle guard (100), are also disclosed.
