Abstract
The present invention discloses a catheter instrumentcomprising a needle tip shielding device. The needle tip shielding deviceis comprising a body with a rear side, a front side, an outer surfaceconnecting the rear sideand the front side, a holeextending from the rear sideto the front side, a resilient armextending at an attachment pointfrom the front sideof the body, and a longitudinal arm. The resilient armhas a resting state, from which it may be forced to yield free passage through the holein an axial direction of the body. The resilient armis adapted for protecting a needle tipof a hollow needleextending through the holein a direction from the rear sideto the front side, when the resilient armis in the resting state. The resilient armhas one external point of contact, the point of contact being a contact with the hollow needlewhen the hollow needleis in a forward position. The longitudinal armhas one external contact point, the contact point being a contact with the hollow needlewhen the hollow needleis in a forward position. Any straight imaginary line extending longitudinally through the holein the axial direction of the body coincides with the resilient arm, when the resilient armis in the resting state.
