A Huber needle assembly with safety capture device, comprising: a body; a needle distally extending from the body; at least one handle fixed relative to the needle and the body; a movable arm having distal and proximal ends, the movable arm capable of pivoting relative to the body about a hinge; characterized by: a capture hood residing at the distal end of the movable arm, the capture hood being generally cylindrical about a longitudinal axis thereof and further defined by: a perimeter side wall about the longitudinal axis, the perimeter side wall having an outer face and an inner face relative to the longitudinal axis; an open proximal end; and a slot through the perimeter side wall, the slot having a depth defined by a thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot having two sides, each characterized by an edge along the depth defined by the thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot providing access into an internal cylindrical chamber of the capture hood defined in part by the perimeter side wall, the slot extending longitudinally over at least a portion of the length of the capture hood to the open proximal end of the capture hood, at least a portion of the slot having a width less than an outside diameter of the needle; and an extending tube proximally extending from the body, wherein: a length of the extending tube defines a longitudinal axis of the ex-tending tube, the movable arm pivots about the hinge within a range defined between the extending tube and the needle, and the Huber needle assembly further comprises clamps disposed on a first, outer face of the movable arm to clamp the movable arm to the extending tube when the assembly is in a pre-use position. a body; a needle distally extending from the body; at least one handle fixed relative to the needle and the body; a movable arm having distal and proximal ends, the movable arm capable of pivoting relative to the body about a hinge; a capture hood residing at the distal end of the movable arm, the capture hood being generally cylindrical about a longitudinal axis thereof and further defined by: a perimeter side wall about the longitudinal axis, the perimeter side wall having an outer face and an inner face relative to the longitudinal axis; an open proximal end; and a slot through the perimeter side wall, the slot having a depth defined by a thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot having two sides, each characterized by an edge along the depth defined by the thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot providing access into an internal cylindrical chamber of the capture hood defined in part by the perimeter side wall, the slot extending longitudinally over at least a portion of the length of the capture hood to the open proximal end of the capture hood, at least a portion of the slot having a width less than an outside diameter of the needle; and a perimeter side wall about the longitudinal axis, the perimeter side wall having an outer face and an inner face relative to the longitudinal axis; an open proximal end; and a slot through the perimeter side wall, the slot having a depth defined by a thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot having two sides, each characterized by an edge along the depth defined by the thickness of the side wall between the outer face and the inner face of the side wall, the slot providing access into an internal cylindrical chamber of the capture hood defined in part by the perimeter side wall, the slot extending longitudinally over at least a portion of the length of the capture hood to the open proximal end of the capture hood, at least a portion of the slot having a width less than an outside diameter of the needle; and an extending tube proximally extending from the body, wherein: a length of the extending tube defines a longitudinal axis of the ex-tending tube, the movable arm pivots about the hinge within a range defined between the extending tube and the needle, and the Huber needle assembly further comprises clamps disposed on a first, outer face of the movable arm to clamp the movable arm to the extending tube when the assembly is in a pre-use position.
