ABSTRACT:
A storage/carrying device for safely and conveniently transporting to a patient's bedside sterile needle and syringe devices used in medication and blood collection procedures, and, additionally, to safely transport such implements to ultimate disposal after use, substantially without risk of contaminating contact with the storage/carrying device, or injury or infection to the person handling the device. The storage/carrying device is formed as an integral, unitary assembly comprising first and second transport wells, an extension transport well, a pair of carrying trays, and a carrying handle. The first transport well is adapted to securely store used intravenous-type needles, including the plastic tubing attached to such needles, for transport to ultimate disposal, and can be further adapted to similarly store the syringe portions of used needle/syringe assemblies. The second transport well is proportioned to safely store and transport sterile needle/syringe assemblies pre-filled with medication, or to be used for blood collection, such that the safety-capped needle ends thereof can rest along the bottom of the well. Each carrying tray is proportioned to retain two standard one-ounce medication cups. One of the trays provides a slot through an upstanding sidewall portion thereof dimensioned to retain the handle of a pair of scissors such that the scissor blades can safely rest along the bottom of the tray. The extension transport well is adapted to retain a tubular storage/containment device therewithin for safely removing needles from used hypodermic needle/syringe assemblies, or, alternatively, a tubular container adapted to transport used needle/syringe assemblies in-tact, as well as a needle/collection tube holder assembly used in vacuum-tube blood collection procedures. The tubular container can be further adapted for use independent of the storage/carrying device.
