Abstract: A needlepoint-covering member in which the flow of medical procedure is not disturbed before used as an injection syringe, the tip of the injection needle is suitably protected after use of the injection needle, and the protecting member cannot be removed easily even when external forces are exerted. A plate member whose end is fixed to the needle hub side and which can be bent to less than half of the axial length in the extended state in order to maintain the state before covering, and a covering portion for covering the needlepoint when the bent plate member is extended are provided, and the plate member has a length to allow the covering portion to reach the position of the needlepoint when extended. The plate member is widthwise concaved toward the needle for resisting external forces that tend to remove the covering portion that covers the needlepoint from the needlepoint.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel needlepoint-covering member in which the flow of medical procedure is not disturbed before used as an injection syringe, the tip of the injection needle is suitably protected after use of the injection needle, and the protecting member cannot be removed easily even when external forces are exerted. A plate member whose end is fixed to the needle hub side and which can be bent to less than half of the axial length in the extended state in order to maintain the state before covering, and a covering portion for covering the needlepoint when the bent plate member is extended are provided, and the plate member has a length to allow the covering portion to reach the position of the needlepoint when extended. The plate member is widthwise concaved toward the needle for resisting external forces that tend to remove the covering portion that covers the needlepoint from the needlepoint.
