A needle shielding cushion is provided with a generally planar base wall having a plurality of filaments projecting unitarily therefrom. The base wall defines cross-sectional dimensions which are greater than the length of a needle cannula used therewith. The filaments are dimensioned and disposed to releasably engage a needle cannula therebetween. An exposed needle cannula can be urged between the filaments after usage of the needle cannula and/or between sequential uses of the needle cannula.
