ABSTRACT:
A one-time resealable protective kit for medical sharps has a stiff body which has a predetermined shape for initially packaging a medical sharps and for receiving the used medical sharp. The stiff body is designed so as to prevent the blade or needle of the medical sharps from piercing the stiff body. The protective kit has a resealable cover and a lower attachment mechanism that can be used to affix the protective kit to a table or other suitable surface. In operation, the protective kit is releasably secured to a table or other suitable surface by contacting the attachment mechanism to the surface. The user then peels back the cover of the protective kit to access the medical sharp. Once the medical sharp has been used, it is replaced into the body of the protective kit. The cover can then be closed over the body of the protective kit, effectively sealing the medical sharp inside the protective kit. The entire protective kit can then be safely disposed of in accordance with standard medical practices.
