ABSTRACT:
A disposal device used for the disposal of hazardous contaminated sharps, such as hypodermic needles, generated from treating patients. The disposal device is compact enough to fit in medical kits and hospital trays and is able to be used at the patient's bedside, thus eliminating the need to recap or transport contaminated sharps to non-bedside sharp disposal devices. The shape of the device provides enough stability to prevent the device from tipping over if bumped.
