First Claim
1. A guard for a right angle winged infusion needle comprisingan elongated substantially rectangular body including spaced longitudinal side walls, a longitudinal back wall joined to the side walls and a pair of end walls joined to the side and back walls, said body being open along its length away from said back wall, anda clip attachment carried by said body near one end thereof and including a wall substantially contiguous with one end wall of the body and extending outwardly of the opening of the body and further including a laterally spaced pair of somewhat resilient fingers adjacent to the longitudinal side walls of the body and extending outwardly thereof in spaced substantially parallel opposing relationship to the wall of said clip, whereby the shank of a right angle winged infusion needle may be held protectively in said body while a part of the wing of the needle is being held in the clip attachment.
