2109713 9220390 PCTABS00017 A needle guard and a method to prevent needle stick injuries are disclosed, for use with a hypodermic syringe or other instrument with a sharp point. The needle guard, comprises a protective sleeve (14) with a fitting (16, 116), that may be used with or added to a conventional syringe and needle assembly. The interior of the fitting contains a deformable engagement means (40, 141) adapted to permanently engage the fitting on the syringe barrel (25). Prior to and during use of the needle (43), the sleeve (14) remains in a retracted position covering the barrel (25) of the syringe. After the needle (43) has been used, the sleeve (14) is pushed forward into its locked extended position, so that the end of the sleeve extends beyond the tip of the needle. The tip of the needle is thereby shielded, preventing accidental sticks.
