ABSTRACT:
A temporary instrument holder having one or more lateral surface instrument holder apertures configured to receive needles therein. The lateral surface instrument holder aperture is provided in addition to a top surface instrument holder portion and is positioned in the side of the temporary instrument holder allowing sharp implements to be inserted into the lateral surface instrument holder aperture to minimize tipping of the temporary instrument holder. A portion of the implement positioned in the lateral instrument holder aperture can rest on the support surface on which the temporary instrument holder is positioned. A boundary septum is provided between the lateral surface instrument holder aperture and the instrument holder portion on the top surface to prevent passage of the needle apparatus from the need stop portion to the lateral surface instrument holder aperture to prevent an inadvertent stick or puncture the skin of a practitioner.
