Surgically invasive pointed articles for skin penetration and methods for their preparation

A surgically invasive pointed article comprising

• a. injection moulding of a first material to form a first part further comprising
• i. a base surface,
• ii. two body segments, the first body segment being a needle segment which extends from the base surface, and the second body segment being a body portion for handling purpose,
• wherein the needle segment can be deformed such that the surgically invasive function is disabled to prevent accidental injuries and re-use;
• b. over-moulding a second material to form a second part further comprising a cap which is detachably adhered to the base surface and that the entire first body segment is encapsulated to protect the pointed end from damage, and once sterilized, to conserve the sterile conditions till point of use.
