Claim 0:
1. A device for administering a butterfly needle to a subject, comprising:
a housing comprising a shell with a distal opening and a proximal opening, with two opposing grooves extending from the distal opening towards the proximal opening, a distal surface disposed at least partially about the distal opening;
a drive plunger occupying the space defined by the shell of the housing and in shifting engagement with the housing, wherein the drive plunger has a proximal end with a handle extending from the proximal opening of the housing and a distal end dimensioned to receive and deliver the butterfly needle, the distal end further including depressions aligned to the two opposing grooves of the housing to permit a butterfly needle having wings to be received with each wing extending beyond the housing;
a drive spring associated with the drive plunger such that when the handle is retracted proximally relative to the housing, the drive spring compresses and when the drive plunger is released, the drive plunger travels distally from the force of the drive spring;
a stop to hold the drive spring in a retracted position; and
a component for relieving discomfort associated with injecting the butterfly needle to the subject receiving the injection.
