Abstract

An automatic needle retraction device includes a housing and retraction device for completely retracting a needle back into the housing after use. A selector switch device includes an equalization part, which produces a negative pressure to accept the fluid compressed during the retraction of the hollow needle. Thus, during retraction of the needle, compressed injection solution is not sprayed outward from the needle.
