A safety needle system operable with a medical device includes: a housing with a needle mount having a needle; and a sheath telescopically engaged with the housing and surrounding the needle such that the sheath operates in a retracted position, in which the sheath exposes the needle, and an extended position, in which the sheath surrounds the needle. The sheath is coupleable to the medical device such that removal of the needle from the medical device draws the sheath over the needle, transitioning the sheath from the retracted position to the extended position. In one embodiment, the system includes a slider engaged with the sheath and/or housing and including a restraint that engages and disengages the sheath to respectively reinforce and weaken the coupling of the sheath and medical device. In another embodiment, the sheath includes a longitudinal track that slidingly engages a setting of the housing between sheath positions.

1. A safety needle system operable with a medical device, comprising: a housing including a needle mount;a needle having a distal end insertable through the medical device and a proximal end coupled to the needle mount;a sheath telescopically engaged with the housing and circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the needle, wherein the sheath operates in: a retracted position that exposes the distal end of the needle; andan extended position, wherein the sheath substantially surrounds the distal end of the needle;wherein the sheath is coupleable to the medical device such that removal of the needle from the medical device transitions the sheath from the retracted position to the extended position; anda slider, longitudinally engaged with at least one of the sheath and the housing and including a restraint, wherein the restraint comprises a first configuration that facilitates coupling of the sheath to the medical device in the retracted position, and a second configuration that weakens coupling of the sheath to the medical device in the extended position. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the slider includes a set of restraint tabs that interact with a distal portion of the sheath in the first configuration, thereby reinforcing coupling of the sheath to the medical device. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the sheath is telescopically engaged around the slider and wherein the housing is telescopically engaged around the sheath. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the slider and the sheath includes a pair of jaws configured to grip the medical device in the first configuration of the restraint and configured to move laterally apart in the second configuration of the restraint. 5. The system of claim 1, further including a needle catch that engages the needle after removal of the needle from the medical device. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the needle catch fixes the sheath in the extended position, in engaging with the needle, after removal of the needle from the medical device. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the needle catch comprises a spring clip configured to prevent movement of the sheath in a proximal direction after removal of the needle of the needle from the medical device. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the sheath substantially surrounds the needle catch in the retracted position of the sheath. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a chamber, fluidly coupled to the needle by the needle mount and configured to receive fluid through a lumen of the needle. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the needle includes a notch positioned at the distal end of the needle, wherein the notch allows fluid to pass along the needle in a region defined between the needle and the medical device. 11. A system operable with a medical device, comprising: a housing including a needle mount and a chamber;a needle having a distal end insertable through the medical device and a proximal end coupled to the needle mount, the needle comprising a lumen in fluid communication with the chamber of the housing to transmit fluid to the chamber;a sheath telescopically engaged with the housing and circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the needle, wherein the sheath operates in: a retracted position that exposes the distal end of the needle and an extended position that substantially surrounds the distal end of the needle;wherein the sheath is coupleable to the medical device such that removal of the needle from the medical device transitions the sheath from the retracted position to the extended position; anda slider, longitudinally engaged with at least one of the sheath and the housing and including a restraint, wherein the restraint comprises a set of restraint tabs that interact with a distal portion of the sheath in a first configuration that reinforces coupling of the system to the medical device in the retracted position, and wherein the set of restraint tabs provide a second configuration that facilitates weakened coupling of the system to the medical device in the extended position. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the sheath is telescopically engaged around the slider and wherein the housing is telescopically engaged around the sheath. 13. The system of claim 12, further including a needle catch that engages the needle after removal of the needle from the medical device, wherein the needle catch limits motion of the sheath after transitioning of the sheath from the retracted position to the extended position. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the needle includes a notch positioned at the distal end of the needle, wherein the notch allows fluid to pass along the needle in a region defined between the needle and the medical device. 15. A method for covering a needle, the method comprising: providing a system used with a medical device, wherein the system includes a housing to which the needle is coupled, and a sheath that is telescopically engaged with the housing and that operates in a retracted position that exposes a distal end of the needle and in an extended position that covers the distal end of the needle;providing a set of restraint tabs configured to facilitate coupling of a distal portion of the sheath with the medical device, producing reinforced coupling between the distal portion of the sheath and the medical device, with a first configuration of the set of restraint tabs, in the retracted position;transmitting the needle, through a distal portion of the sheath and the medical device, into a patient, thereby facilitating coupling of the medical device to the patient;allowing the housing to be pulled away from the medical device in a proximal direction, thereby retracting the needle from the medical device while maintaining coupling of the medical device to the patient;allowing the sheath to slide in a distal direction towards the extended position, thereby drawing the sheath into the extended position;producing weakened coupling between the distal portion of the sheath and the medical device, with a second configuration of the set of restraint tabs, in the extended position;fixing the sheath in the extended position; andallowing uncoupling of the medical device from the system with the needle covered. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising receiving fluid, upon transmitting the needle into the patient, at a chamber of the housing. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein transmitting the needle through the distal portion of the sheath and the medical device is performed prior to transmitting the needle into the patient. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein providing the system comprises providing the needle with a notch positioned at the distal end of the needle, and wherein the method further comprises receiving fluid in a region defined between the notch of the needle and a catheter of the medical device. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein fixing the sheath in the extended position comprises fixing the sheath in the extended position with a needle catch configured to engage the needle, during transitioning of the sheath from the retracted position to the extended position.
