ABSTRACT:
A free-standing safety cap includes a first compartment for temporarily securing an unused medical instrument and a second compartment for permanently securing a used medical instrument. The instruments have a sharp end, and are fitted with a hub. The first compartment has an opening through which the unused instrument can be removed. A stand supports the cap in a position in which an opening in the second compartment is exposed to receive the used instrument without the user having to hold the cap. A locking mechanism, preferably one-way, is provided for engaging the hub and permanently securing the sharp end of the used instrument inside the second compartment.
