ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for holding and selectively positioning medical needle and syringe assemblies. The device comprises the combination of a housing and a retainer insert interconnectible therewith. The retainer insert is provided with a plurality of retainer holes formed thereon for receiving and frictionally retaining a needle cap extensible through respective ones thereof. Each respective needle cap retained thereby is oriented such that when the needle portion of a needle/syringe assembly is placed therewithin, the assembly is maintained in fixed position. Following use, the contaminated needles are removed from the device and disposed of via conventional means while the needle caps remain frictionally retained within the retainer insert. In the preferred embodiment, the retainer holes formed on the retainer insert are arranged in a row-like fashion to organize use of multiple needle/syringe devices, and may further be formed to take any of a variety of shapes necessary to provide adequate frictional retention of a given needle cap.
