Abstract
An injection assembly includes a syringe barrel () having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle hub () supporting the needle and coupled to the distal end of the syringe barrel (). A sleeve () is positioned on the syringe barrel and needle hub for sliding between a first position where the needle is covered and a second position exposing the needle. The sleeve () is biased to the extended position to cover the needle. The sleeve has a distal end () and a proximal end (). During use, the syringe is positioned against the skin of the patient so that distal end of the sleeve contacts the skin of the patient before the needle so that lateral or angular force applied relative to the surface of the skin is absorbed by the sleeve to inhibit sliding of the sleeve and resist bending of the needle during insertion.
