Abstract
A safety device for a needle of a medical device, the safety device including a ring adapted to be fixed with regard to the needle, a shield rotatably fixed on the ring, and the shield being configured to at least rotate in a closing direction from a retracted position in which the shield does not cover the needle to a safety position in which the shield covers the needle. The shield includes a proximal portion and a distal portion linked to the proximal portion so as to be rotatable from an operating position to a tilted position in which the distal portion is tilted with regard to the proximal portion.

A safety device for a needle of a medical device, the safety device comprising:
- a ring adapted to be fixed with regard to the needle, and
- a shield rotatably fixed to the ring the shield being configured to at least rotate in a closing direction from a retracted position in which the shield does not cover the needle to a safety position in which the shield covers the needle,
- wherein the shield comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion linked to the proximal portion so as to be rotatable from an operating position to a tilted position in which the distal portion is tilted with regard to the proximal portion,
- wherein the distal direction is the direction of injection and the proximal direction is the opposite direction, and
- wherein the safety position includes a first safety position in which the shield is in the operating position and a second safety position in which the shield is in the tilted position.
