Abstract
A needle protection assembly with a cap that connects directly to a needle, thereby protecting the stem from bending. The needle protection assembly further provides a base ring for circumscribing a base portion of the needle and a bushing that interconnects the cap and the base ring, wherein there is no fixed connection between the cap and the bushing nor between the bushing and the base ring so that the bushing can rack relative to the base ring when a deflection force is imparted on the cap.
