A needle syringe device, comprising: a syringe barrel body that includes a distal portion having a needle hub with a distal end wherefrom a needle of a particular gauge fixedly extends so that the needle is not removable from the syringe barrel body, a needle protection housing having a slot formed substantially along its body pivotable relative to said syringe barrel body, said needle having a longitudinal axis and being covered by a sheath frictionally held to the needle hub at the distal portion prior to use and is ready for use with the removal of said sheath, the sheath being made of either a translucent or clear plastic material, said needle adapted to be covered by said housing after the removal of said sheath when said housing is pivoted relative to the distal portion from a position away from the syringe barrel body to a position in alignment along the longitudinal axis of said needle, said needle passing through the slot formed along said housing when said housing is pivoted to the position to cover said needle, said housing formed from a plastics material having a specific color preassigned to correspond to said particular gauge of said needle according to a standard so that the gauge of the needle of said syringe is ascertainable by the color of said housing prior to and after the removal of said sheath to expose said needle, the needle hub having the same specific color, wherein a user is able to determine the particular gauge of the needle through the sheath without removal of the sheath because the sheath is made of the translucent or clear plastic material.
