ABSTRACT:
A medical apparatus whose purpose it is to permanently retard future use of a medical apparatus, in particular needles, preventing accidental exposure to contaminated sharps. It facilitates the possible removal of medical devices from their respective holders, while preventing possible contaminated discharge of fluids located along the anterior or exterior walls of needles or exterior of medical sharps. This medical apparatus provides for single handed use which complies with OSHA guidelines, and its advanced design facilitates the more common shorter medical needles to which non-medical users are accustomed as well as the wide range of needles that medical professional use. This apparatus is easier to manufacture, shorter in stature that allows for its inclusion in the already overcrowded medical trays used by today's medical personnel, in particular, emergency medical technicians. An embodiment contains multiple apparatuses together allowing for safe storage of several sharps, which is a common need in emergency situations both in the field and in the hospital settings, where doctors or technicians are attempting to stabilize critical patients with multiple injections. The apparatus uses counter-opposing gripping devices with an enveloping containment member which serves both to tension the juxtapositionally aligned gripping devices and to prevent leakage of contaminated fluids from medical devices.
