ABSTRACT:
Suture needles used in operations are stored after use on a holder which comprises a card strip having an adhesive layer across a top edge on the undersurface for attachment to a support surface and a foam strip along the top surface spaced from one side edge and spaced from the top edge. The needles are inserted into the foam material parallel to the substrate and a bare edge of the substrate from which the foam is spaced allows the substrate to be handled without contacting the foam and thus without any danger of pricking. The substrate can be cut after inserting a predetermined number of needles for example 5 needles for easy counting of the needles.
