ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A multi-panel shield or sheath constructed to define an envelope into which an intravenous needle having a sharpened cannula may be withdrawn upon removal from a vein. The envelope has a compression flap adapted to overlie the venipuncture site while the needle is being withdrawn from the vein, whereby a nurse, doctor or other person using the device may exert pressure on the venipuncture site as the needle is being withdrawn. A gripping panel is also provided to facilitate holding of the sheath as the needle is being retracted into the envelope. After the needle has been withdrawn into the shield envelope, the panels may be folded over one another to completely enclose the needle for subsequent handling and/or disposal. In some embodiments of the inventions a non-folding sheath defining an envelope is utilized. Other embodiments have no compression panel.
