Abstract
To prevent fluid collected at a contaminated needle from being splattered to the environment when the housing of a needle protection device is pivoted to enclose the needle, a bias member is provided in the needle protective housing to provide damping for the needle as the needle is moved within the housing. By damping the movement of the needle relative to the needle housing, splattering of the fluid that results from the jerky movements of the needle due to sudden acceleration/deceleration of the needle relative to the housing are absorbed and/or suppressed.
