ABSTRACT:
A one-time resealable package for needled medical devices, composed generally of a stiff plastic body which has a predetermined shape for receiving the needled medical device and is provided with a perimeter lip, and further composed of a flexible backing layer which is sealably secured to the perimeter lip, wherein a first portion of the backing layer is releasably secured to the perimeter lip while a second portion of the baking layer is permanently secured to the perimeter lip. The first portion of the backing layer is connected to an arrow-shaped end portion having a pair of opposed barbs. The perimeter lip is provided with an aperture adjacent the arrow-shaped end portion, wherein the arrow-shaped end portion is insertable thereinto. Preferably, the body is at least in part form fitting with respect to the needled medical device so as to abuttably interact with the needled medical device so that the needle thereof cannot contact the body when the needled medical device is received within the body. In operation, a user peels the backing layer from the body until the permanently secured portion thereof is encountered to access the needled medical device. Upon completion of its usage, the needled medical device is replaced into the body, and the user then manipulates the arrow-shaped end portion so that it is lockably forced into the aperture in the peripheral lip to thereby permanently entomb the needled medical device within the package.
