ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for storing a hypodermic needle before and after use. A pair of integral, cylindrical storage members are in parallel spaced relation to one another. The first storage member comprises a cylindrical housing closed at one end into which an unused, sterile hypodermic needle may be mounted. The hypodermic needle includes an enlarged, tubular hub which engages the open end of the first storage member. The second storage member includes a closed end and an open end. The cylindrical wall of the second storage housing is longitudinally severed from the open end of the second storage housing to a point substantially adjacent the closed end thereof. The open end of the second storage housing is adapted to frictionally engage the enlarged hub of the hypodermic needle. The longitudinal edges of the severed cylindrical wall of the second storage housing define a severed interface which will permit the hypodermic needle to be resheathed through the lateral opening in the wall of the second storage member.
