In an intravenous needle and needle holder assembly, the needle is attached to an inner case, through which intravenous fluid is supplied, by a length of flexible tubing. An outer case is provided which surrounds the tubing during insertion of the needle into a patient\s vein, so as to rigidify the needle during such insertion. After insertion, the outer case can be removed from at least a part of the flexible tubing so that the tubing provides a flexible connection between the inner case and the needle useful during administration of intravenous fluid.

An intravenous needle and holder assembly having an outer case, an intravenous needle for receipt in the outer case with at least a part of the needle projecting from a forward end of the case, and adjustment means attached to a back end of the needle for selectively establishing an insertion orientation of the assembly having a substantially rigidified junction between the needle and the case effectively preventing lateral movement of the case, relative to the needle, and an administration orientation of the assembly having a flexible junction between the needle and the case allowing lateral movement of the case relative to the needle.
