A medical needle device includes a needle assembly, a hollow needle
assembly holder, and a one-way rotational collar. The needle assembly
includes a needle hub supporting a needle. The needle hub has a proximal
end and a distal end. The hollow needle assembly holder has a proximal
end and a distal end. The distal end of the holder defines an opening
communicating with the interior of the holder. The one-way rotational
collar is rotatably received in the opening in the holder for connecting
the needle assembly to the holder. The collar defines a needle assembly
receiving socket. The proximal end of the needle hub is received in the
socket. The collar is configured to co-act with the interior of the
holder such that the collar and needle assembly can rotate in only one
direction relative to the holder.
