Abstract
A safety needle and blood collection and sampling system precluding needlstick injury by contaminated needles wherein a used needle is captured immediately within its carrier upon retraction of the needle flush with the carrier. Blood sampling is effected without reverse flow through the system and without reuse or exposure of a contaminated needle. Simplified techniques of assembling the needle are also set forth to minimize cost with maximum reliability notwithstanding a minimum of components.
