Abstract
A needle guard assembly for a syringe adapted to receive a hypodermic needle assembly. The guard assembly includes a needle guard that is slidably mounted on a needle-supporting hub. The needle guard may be moved from a latched position wherein the needle is fully protected by the guard to a position wherein the injection end of the needle is exposed. The assembly further includes a locking mechanism for permanently locking the needle guard in an extended position over the needle to prevent further use of the needle and to facilitate safe disposal of the assembly.
