ABSTRACT:
A method of destroying and storing a cannula adapted to contact bodily fluids. According to the method, a cannula having at least one sharp point is disposed in an operative relationship with a reel which is fitted in a housing, A portion of the cannula extends exteriorly of the housing and is slidably disposed within an aperture in the housing. A portion of the cannula that is disposed within the housing engages the reel when it is turned and bends the cannula to destroy it and simultaneously commences drawing the cannula into the housing through the aperture to store it. The turning is continued until the point is fully withdrawn into the housing. When fully withdrawn, the point(s) of the cannula snap against the inside of the housing and provide a sensory indication that they are fully withdrawn.
