A protective device for a removable cannula used with a hypodermic syringe includes an elongated sheath open at one end. A piston in the sheath is slidable longitudinally between an extended position and a retracted position. The removable cannula is on one side of the piston, and the hypodermic syringe on the outer side. Means are provided for connecting the cannula to the syringe through a bore in the piston so the piston is between the cannula and the syringe barrel. With the piston in the extended position, the cannula extends from one end of the sheath, and the hypodermic syringe plunger extends from the other end so the assembly is ready to use in the same manner as a conventional hypodermic syringe. After use, the piston is moved to the retracted position so that the scarf end of the cannula is safely enclosed within the sheath.

A protective device for a removable cannula used with a hypodermic syringe, the device comprising: an elongated sheath open at a first end and having a longitudinally extending slot; a hypodermic syringe barrel disposed within the sheath and having a plunger with a first end extending from a first end of the barrel and from the open end of the sheath; a fitting at a second end of the barrel, the barrel fitting having an opening extending through it to communicate with the barrel interior; an elongated hypodermic cannula having a longitudinal opening extending through it; a fitting on the cannula, the fitting being constructed and arranged to mate with the barrel fitting and hold the cannula so the cannula opening communicates with the barrel interior through the opening in the barrel fitting; a piston having a central opening and disposed in the sheath to be sandwiched between the two fittings and to be longitudinally slidable with the barrel, fittings, and cannula relative to the sheath between an extended position and a retracted position, the sheath being sufficiently long so that, when the piston is in the retracted position, the scarf end of the cannula is safely enclosed within the sheath; and a pin secured to the piston and extending laterally into the slot.
