Abstract
A disposable pen needle assembly is provided that includes a snap lock feature that provides a user with a simple method of detaching and attaching the pen needle to the medication delivery pen. In addition, the pen needle assembly includes a multi-use shield that initially shields the distal end of the pen needle prior to use and then both shields the proximal end of the needle and locks the used needle in its outer cover prior to disposal.
