1. A cover for magnetizing a tissue-penetrating medical device comprising:
a sleeve member having:
an open proximal end,
a distal end,
an inner surface,
an outer surface,
one or more physical stop elements disposed at one or more positions along the outer surface configured to abut a corresponding physical stop on an inner surface of a magnetizer that corresponds to a desired length of magnetization of the tissue-penetrating medical device; and
a hollow body extending between the proximal end and the distal end to form a protective closure over a shaft of a tissue-penetrating medical device having a longitudinal axis, the open proximal end of the sleeve member providing a receiving space for receiving at least the shaft of the tissue-penetrating medical device.
