Abstract
A safety device includes a tubular body, a needle cover, a release element, and a retainer. The tubular body extends along a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a medical container. The needle cover is movable relative to said body between a retracted position and a distally extended position to shield the injection needle after activation of the safety device. The release element is configured to move the needle cover from the retracted to the extended position. The retainer is configured to transmit a user's activation force to the needle cover once the injection operation is completed. The needle cover includes a distal abutment surface abutting against a proximal abutment surface of a bump protruding from the body in the retracted position. The body has a first axial slot extending from a distal end of the body, and the bump is circumferentially distant from said first axial slot.
