Abstract
A tubing injection site guard comprising a compressible, penetrable sleeve for surrounding a continuous tube and a rigid casing enclosing the sleeve. The casing comprises two opposing longitudinal sections longitudinally hinged, with a needle access port in one section to allow insertion of a needle through the sleeve and into the tube. The sections are capable of being locked together to radially compress the sleeve over its entire length and thereby seal needle holes. An adjustable locking means is provided to lock the sections together and to allow adjustment of the radial compression. The site guard also protects the operator from injury while inserting the needle by enclosing the entire injection site except at the needle access port.
