ABSTRACT:
A safety body fluid collector keeps a needle, held by a needle holder, in place frictionally with the use of an elastomeric O-ring. After use, the body fluid collector is inverted and placed over a discard container. Downward pressure on finger grips on the collector causes a tube of a disposal member, attached to the lid of the container, to press against the O-ring, unseating the O-ring and freeing the needle holder with the needle from the frictional hold of the O-ring. The needle holder and needle then drop into the discard container and when the discard container is full, it is discarded.
