ABSTRACT:
A kit for disposing of a contaminated I.V. needle and delivering adhesive wound dressings to a patient with preferably a single gloved hand includes an adhesive mounting substrate to attach the apparatus to an available surface. An adhesive needle sheath carrier extends from the base of the apparatus for securing a needle and needle sheath for disposal following use. To the base of the apparatus are releasably adhered a wound barrier and taping strips to aid in securing a catheter to a patient. Tabs are provided on the wound barrier and taping strips to facilitate their removal from the base of the apparatus. The apparatus allows a medical technician to insert a catheter into a patient and maintain pressure on the catheter at the wound site with one hand, while disposing of the contaminated needle and then securing the catheter with wound dressings, all with preferably a single gloved other hand, thereby reducing the incidence of infection or injury.
