Method and apparatus for holding and selectively positioning medical needle and syringe assemblies. The device comprises the combination of a housing and a retainer insert interconnectible therewith. The retainer insert is provided with a plurality of retainer holes formed thereon for receiving and frictionally retaining a needle cap extensible through respective ones thereof. Each respective needle cap retained thereby is oriented such that when the needle portion of a needle/syringe assembly is placed therewithin, the assembly is maintained in fixed position. Following use, the contaminated needles are removed from the device and disposed of via conventional means while the needle caps remain frictionally retained within the retainer insert. In the preferred embodiment, the retainer holes formed on the retainer insert are arranged in a row-like fashion to organize use of multiple needle/syringe devices, and may further be formed to take any of a variety of shapes necessary to provide adequate frictional retention of a given needle cap.

Dispositif permettant de supporter et de placer des seringues et des ensembles de seringues médicales et méthode d'utilisation. Le dispositif combine un logement et un élément de retenue pouvant se fixer au logement. Des trous de retenue extensibles sont formés dans l'élément de retenue et servent à recevoir et à retenir par friction le capuchon protecteur d'une seringue. Chaque capuchon protecteur ainsi retenu est orienté de sorte que lorsqu'une aiguille faisant partie d'un ensemble aiguille/seringue y est inséré, l'ensemble est maintenu en position fixe. Après usage, les aiguilles contaminées sont enlevées du dispositif et jetées suivant les moyens habituels, tandis que les capuchons protecteurs sont retenus par friction dans l'élément de retenue. Dans la version privilégiée, les trous de retenue formés dans l'élément de retenue sont disposés en rangs afin de permettre l'organisation de nombreux ensembles aiguille/seringue. Les trous de retenue peuvent être fabriqués dans différentes formes afin de recevoir et de retenir avec suffisament de friction des capuchons protecteurs de différentes formes.
