ABSTRACT:
A package is described for use with hypodermic needles that assures sterility of the needle prior to use and prevents inadvertent access to the needle after use. In a preferred embodiment a needle housing is hingedly attached to a base so that the housing may be moved from a first position covering the sterile needle to a second position exposing the needle for use to a third position covering the used needle. A hook like protrusion projects from the inside wall of the housing and is biased, in a non-engaging relationship, against the needle prior to use of the needle. When the housing is moved from the second to the third housing position the hook like protrusion engages the needle to prevent movement of the housing and further use of the needle.
