ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for safely removing needles from syringes and vacutainers, and protectively storing said removed needles. The entire device containing the stored needles is intended to be disposed of in an approved manner. The device utilizes fixed and moveable jaws which meet above an aperture in the lid of a storage container and grip a needle to be removed. A rubber band or spring causes the jaws to be drawn together in a manner which substantially occludes the aperture. Structure is provided for moving the jaws apart against the urging of the rubber band and for applying a force against the needle which is additive to that provided by the rubber band or spring.
