Abstract
A protection device for medical needles connected to a portion of tube comprises: a protection casing (20) arranged to enclose and cover the needle after use, it being initially applied in a position to the rear of the point (11) of the needle; a front end (25) facing the point of the needle, to be rested against a foreign body (D3) for reaction in extracting the needle from the patient's body; means (30) for securing the device to the tube (15); and thrust means (21, 22) which when operated by the operator's finger (D1, D2) increase the distance between the securing means (30) and said front end (25) in order to cause the needle (10) to move towards the protection casing (20) until it lies inside the interior of this latter (20). During the extraction of the needle (10) from the patient's body (P), the device (1) is rigidly secured to the tube (15) in proximity to the needle (10), and the operator, by operating on the device, is able to direct the needle (10) as he wishes, to achieve its correct extraction.
