Abstract
I describe a dorsal head-like projection for stabilizing the leading end of a shielded winged intravenous (IV) infusion assembly such that venous bleeding and anchoring of the assembly are simultaneously controlled with a finger tip on the projection, while the free hand retracts the infusion needle via trailing tubing into the body or into a sliding shield without exposure of the needle during or after use for giving an infusion or withdrawing blood.
