ABSTRACT:
A venipuncture device package which when opened serves as a combination needle cover and venipuncture device tray from which a venipuncture device may be withdrawn or inserted with one hand without having to apply any force to the package. In one preferred embodiment, a blister cover made of ductile plastic is configurated to form a venipuncture device tray which is separably joined to a strip of paper backing to form the package. The tray is constructed so as to facilitate angular deformation of the tray into a hand-displaceable needle cover once the strip of paper has been partially peeled away to expose the handle of the venipuncture device while maintaining the needle of the venipuncture device enclosed within the package. In other presently preferred embodiments, the tray is constructed so that it may be broken open at a predetermined location so as to form a hand-displaceable needle cover having the handle of the venipuncture device exposed while maintaining the needle of the venipuncture device enclosed within the package. The method of using the preferred embodiments is also disclosed.
