Patent attributes
An automatic retraction Huber needle safety enclosure which is designed principally for a Huber needle. A Huber needle is a hypodermic needle that is in the shape of a right angle. The safety enclosure has an internal chamber which is formed between a housing and a lid with the lid being movable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position. The Huber needle is mounted within the internal chamber. The Huber needle is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. With the Huber needle in the extended position, the Huber needle is capable of being inserted within the body of a human or animal. With the Huber needle in the retracted position, the tip of the Huber needle is to be totally confined within the internal chamber. A wing assembly is attached to the housing which functions to facilitate securement of the safety enclosure to the body of the animal or human and forming an enclosure with the wing assembly folded in abutting juxtaposition.
