ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for storing a hypodermic needle which is adapted to permit the hypodermic needle to be removed and later recapped by relative lateral movement between the apparatus and the needle. The storage apparatus comprises a cylindrical housing which is closed at one end into which the hypodermic needle may be mounted. The hypodermic needle includes an enlarged hub which engages the upper, open end of the housing. The cylindrical wall of the housing is longitudinally severed from the open upper end of the housing to the closed bottom end thereof and extending through the bottom end of the housing. Sheathing tabs are secured to the outer surface of the housing, the sheathing tabs being oriented on opposite sides of the severed slot in the housing. When suitable force is applied to the sheathing tabs, the longitudinal edges of the cylindrical wall of the housing which defines the severed slot are separated thereby permitting the hypodermic needle to be removed or resheathed through the lateral opening in the wall of the housing.
