ABSTRACT:
A disposable protective container for a hypodermic syringe includes an improved elongated tube having one sealed end and one open end, a concave cap, a welded joint and a lockable fastening mechanism. The concave cap is adapted to fit over the open end of the improved elongated tube. The welded joint frangibly fastens the inner wall of the cap to the outer wall of the improved elongated tube and is adapted to hold the cap in a first axial position relative to the improved elongated tube. The lockable fastening mechanism is adapted to hold the cap in a second axial position after breaking the welded joint in order to protect against inadvertent contact with the needle of the hypodermic syringe before and after it has been used as a disposable protective container for the hypodermic syringe. The improved elongated tube is an integral member which has a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion. The first cylindrical portion has a flexible section, a closed end and an open end. The second cylindrical portion has a first end and a second open end. The first open end of the second cylindrical portion is coupled by a truncated-cone shaped portion to the open end of the first cylindrical portion. A user may flex the first cylindrical portion in order to break the needle of the hypodermic syringe therein so that there is no longer any reason for an individual to attempt to retrieve the hypodermic syringe.
