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