Self-locking, self-blunting safety needle system and syringe

Abstract

A safety needle locking device, which may be used with a syringe, consisting of a Blunting Member (19). The Needle (16) has a Needle Curvature (25) which allows locking of the Blunting Member (19) within the needle with the indent (27). The blunting member also has a Puncture Tip Protector (26) which allows for the Needle Tip (24) to be sheathed upon expulsion of the fluid. The needle is tubular with one surface flattened out. The Blunting Member is aligned within the needle. When the fluids are expelled the blunting member moves out, blocks the needle tip and locks inside the needle. Thus preventing reuse and needle stick injury. The syringe is flattened along one longitudinal surface to allow for alignment.
