Abstract:
A device for preventing needle sticking injuries to a user's finger or hand. The device is made of resin or a similar material having a hardened surface but flexible. The device can be formed as a circularly shaped plate or a polygon shaped plate. The plate has a plurality of angularly and radially outward slits placed at its center. The slits are designed to allow the penetration of a needle cap through the plate and provide a tight grip onto the needle cap and shields the needle users from sticking accidents and injuries.
