Abstract
An intravascular administration set with an integral needle safety device is disclosed. An elongate needle trap is pivotally affixed at a first end to a needle stick guard. A winged needle holder carrying a needle is received by the needle stick guard and the needle trap, and is adapted to be moved along the length of the needle trap from the first end toward a second end thereof. A needle guide hole is defined within the needle stick guard, and at least a portion of the needle shaft is passed through the guide hole. The guide hole is axially spaced from the axis of the needle such that the needle is offset with respect to the guide hole once the needle is withdrawn therefrom.
