ABSTRACT:
A surgical needle package counter is particularly constructed for receiving and snugly retaining an opened surgical needle package sequentially in a number of slots particularly configured and sized to receive such opened surgical needle packages. Each slot for receiving an opened surgical needle package is identified by a number with the numbers being in sequence so that an immediate total number of opened surgical needle packages stored in the counter may be observed. The surgical needle package counter may have an integral extension in which a foam filler or slab may be seated. The foam filler or slab is particularly formed to receive used surgical needles. Preferably, each used surgical needle will be received in a needle receiving zone which corresponds with the slot of the surgical needle package counter so that the number of used surgical needles can be automatically identified by the numerals which identify the surgical package slots. A suitable cover is provided for retaining the used surgical needles for disposal or possible future recount.
