Needle-shield remover

Abstract:

An apparatus for removing a needle shield from a syringe may be configured to receive the removable needle shield. The remover may include a body and a deflectable arm. The deflectable arm may include a distal end coupled to the body and a proximate end distal a proximate end of the body. The deflectable arm may be configured to engage and apply a force to the needle shield when the cap is detached from the syringe, thereby removing the needle shield from the syringe.
