ABSTRACT:
A medical needle disposal package for disposing of needles, such as surgical needles, IV needles, syringe needles, lancets, and other like sharp surgical devices. A package with hard sides, a hard bottom and sticky tape on the bottom and/or sides, contains STYROFOAM-like material. The used surgical needles or devices are stuck into the STYROFOAM. The package provides that a needle can be stuck into the STYROFOAM with one hand. At a latter time, the package and needles are disposed of by accepted surgical waste disposal procedures. The package can also be provided with an engagable top. An alternative embodiment illustrates compartments at the end or ends or sides of the package for reusable sharps storage including one-handed accessibility to the stored sharps during a medical procedure.
