Abstract
A removal device () for removing and disposing of a pen needle () connectable to a drug delivery device () includes a body () having a cavity () for receiving the pen needle of the drug delivery device such that a patient end () of a needle () of the pen needle is covered by the body. An ejector () is movably connected to the body () for engaging the received pen needle () and selectively ejecting the engaged pen needle from the body. The pen needle () is securely retained within the removal device () without exposing the needle () of the pen needle until the pen needle () can be properly disposed of, such as in a sharps container, thereby substantially preventing an accidental needle stick.
