ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for the deposit, storage and ultimate disposal of disposable medical implements includes a containment member for storing a plurality of implements and a top assembly securable to the containment member for forming the top portion of the receptacle. The top assembly includes an opening for receiving implements, a guide member depending angularly downwardly from one edge of the opening and a back-drop/stop member depending downwardly from the opposite side of the opening, with the distal edges of the back-drop/stop member and guide member defining a slot-like gap wide enough to permit implements of predetermined size to pass in a horizontal orientation into the containment portion. In one embodiment, a closure member is pivotally mounted to the top member, preferably, integrally with the top member, by a reduced thickness web which forms a "living hinge" attachment. Also as preferably embodied, an edge of the opening and the opposite, distal, edge of the guide member have serrated edging to deter hand entry into the receptacle.
