ABSTRACT:
A body member of protective material has opposite surfaces. One of such surfaces has a pressure sensitive adhesive thereon. The body member is bendable whereby upon placing a sharp instrument to be disposed of on the adhesive surface to stick it in place and bending the body member upon itself into connected fold portions at the adhesive surface, a casing is formed around the instrument to hold it securely between the fold portions and to protect personnel from the sharp portion of the instrument. The adhesive surface of the body member is covered by a removable protective layer until use and in addition an auxiliary protective layer is provided on the body member to further restrict penetration of the sharp instrument through the device during disposal steps. The body member is formed of one piece and is bendable along any line thereof. It is dimensioned so as to receive and hold only a single instrument. It can have a lateral tab portion which serves some useful purposes. The device can be manufactured in end to end tear-off extension which exposes a tab of the removable protective layer when torn off.
