2103794 9213585 PCTABS00014 A needle housing (1) comprises a conical wall portion (2) and a cylindrical wall portion (3) with annular skirt (4) and annular base (5). Base (5) has located beneath it a layer of an adhesive impregnated material (6) or alternatively a roughened anti-slip friction surface such as rubber for example. An internal annular rib (7) extends inwardly from skirt (4). Annular rib (7) is adapted to frictionally engage at surface (16) with the external peripheral surface of needle boss (12) prior to use. Located above rib (7) is an O-ring (13) locating a needle boss (12) thereon. O-ring (13), being an individual component is to be discarded upon the first removal of needle boss (12) from housing (1). Housing (1) is attached or otherwise supported above a fixed horizontal surface prior to removal of needle (10) and needle boss (12) for use. After use of boss (12) and needle (10), the same may be reinserted into housing (1) so as to be safely retained therein beneath rib (7). A luminous band (14) on the upper surface of skirt (4) aids in reinsertion of needle (10). The danger of injury and possible infection with the HIV or hepatitis B virus to medical practitioners for example may be significantly curtailed.
