ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for the prevention of accidental needle pricks from the needle of a hypodermic syringe and for supporting the syringe in an upright disposition. A hypodermic syringe, having a conventional needle cap, is provided with a cap holder that includes both a suction cup and a sleeve having an open mouth and projecting upwardly therefrom. The suction cup is secured to a smooth surface by suction and the needle cap is inserted into the open mouth of the tube holder of the invention. Thereafter, with a single hand the hypodermic syringe can be capped by pushing the needle thereof into the needle cap, which is held stationary and stable by means of the cap holder. Preferably, the cap holder is provided with a retainer which may take the form of an elastic band secured relative to the cap holder sleeve. Once the hypodermic syringe has been inserted into the needle cap that is frictionally engaged within the cap holder sleeve, the elastic band is stretched and elastically distended to engage the laterally projecting finger support ears of the hypodermic syringe. The entire assembly can thereupon be safely moved and discarded.
