Abstract
Protective needle clips of the type having an arm and a body section for blocking a needle tip of a needle and for securing onto the needle are discussed herein. The body section has a free end, a fixed end, is generally arcuate, and has a resilient force capable axially expanding the body section when the free end is fixed behind a ledge to create a bias in the body section. A pair of openings on the body section is adapted to received a hypodermic needle. When the tip of the needle moves proximal of a shielding section on the protective clip, the free end disengages from the ledge and causes the body section to axially expand. The expansion changes the orientation of the openings relative to the needle to permit the openings to engage the needle.
