Abstract
This invention relates to a non-mechanical locking incapacitation syringe safety needle guard for preventing reuse of a syringe and needle assembly and for preventing an accidental needle injury. The needle guard has a hollow chamber filled with liquid adhesive. When the needle portion, luer lock, and neck of the syringe are placed in the chamber, the adhesive locks the needle guard permanently to the syringe, thereby disabling the needle portion. Further, the adhesive is drawn into the syringe chamber to lock the plunger of the syringe to the syringe, thereby immobilizing the plunger. This renders the syringe and the needle completely useless.
