Japanese Patent JPH05506200

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

Containers are disclosed for storing soiled sharp medical instruments. In one embodiment, a container has an entrance defined by a pair of flaps. A soiled medical instrument is positioned on one of the flaps and pushed downwardly such that the flaps move apart allowing access to the container for storing the medical instrument. The container is preferably formed of a clear plastic material such that medical personnel may count the number of instruments stored within the container. A second embodiment includes a cylindrical member with a plate positioned near one axial end such that an enlarged space and a smaller space are defined. Both embodiments allow entire syringes to be easily stored while still providing safe storage of smaller medical instruments such as suture needles.
