A multiple pen needle or syringe needle storage and dispensing system where a plurality of needle devices such as pen needles including a cover can be disposed on strip, where the strip serves a seal for multiple needle devices. Each needle device can be peeled off the strip unsealed for immediate use for example in an injections device, or separated from the strip sealed for later use.

Peel-off packaging for pen needles and syringe needles

A passive safety needle shield () is provided. The needle shield comprises a base () fixed to a proximal end of a needle, and an enclosure housing () initially disposed at a distal end of the needle, and enclosing the end of the needle. A hinged arm () connects the base () and the enclosure housing (). The enclosure housing () is slidable along the needle length, and the hinged arm () flexes to permit the enclosure housing () to move along the needle as the needle is inserted into a user, thereby hiding the needle end, and providing support to the needle to avoid bends or buckles in the needle. The hinged arm () is biases in the initial position so that the enclosure housing () returns to the end of the needle as the needle is withdrawn.

Passive safety needle shield

A needle hub assembly for a pen needle includes a needle hub, a cannula or needle coupled to the needle hub, a retractable and compressible sleeve covering at least one end of the cannula, and an outer cover. The outer cover encloses the needle hub and the retractable sleeve. The retractable sleeve is coupled to the hub to cover the end of the cannula where the sleeve can pass through or can be pierced by the cannula and the sleeve retracts axially on the cannula. The sleeve is resilient and returns to an original configuration when an insertion force is released. The needle hub can have a first sleeve to cover a patient end of the cannula, and second sleeve to cover a non-patient end of the cannula where the sleeves retract onto the cannula or hub and expand to the original configuration to cover the ends of the cannula.
