  • the needle cap is removed and dropped into a small tray.
  • the fluid to be injected is drawn from a supply bottle, the needle is recapped and then the hypodermic syringe is placed in the tray. This tray is then carried to the patient where the injection is administered.
  • the used hypodermic syringe with its now contaminated needle is then dropped back into the tray with the needle exposed, or in some cases the needle cap is put back onto the . hypodermic syringe before disposal.
  • Some treatments may require two needles to be used, one for drawing up the fluid and a second to administer the injection.

  • a hypodermic syringe carrier comprising a body defining a tray with a peripheral upstanding side wall, adapted to receive and retain a hypodermic syringe, the tray having a bottom surface by which it may be rested on an underlying support, which body further defines an orifice so positioned with respect to the bottom and so dimensioned that it is adapted to receive and temporarily, stably retain an elongate needle cap.
  • the orifice is adapted to receive an elongate needle cap with its axis substantially upright .
  • the orifice is positioned within a rim portion of the side wall of the tray.
  • the rim advantageously includes a planar portion which extends generally parallel to the bottom of the tray and, when the tray is rested on an underlying support, is spaced from the support, the orifice being disposed in said planar portion so that the needle cap extends through the orifice and may have its closed end resting on the support.
  • the orifice may be positioned within a planar surface which extends inwardly of the side wall of the tray.
  • the invention also provides a hypodermic syringe carrier comprising: a bottom surface a peripheral upstanding side wall bounding said bottom surface so as to define a tray having a syringe storage space within said peripheral wall; said peripheral upstanding wall including: first and second wall portions separated but joined by at least one further wall portion, said first and second wall portions being such that imaginary extensions thereof intersect, said further wall portion(s) lying inwardly of said imaginary extensions and towards said storage space, whereby said further wall ⁇ ortion(s) and said imaginary extensions define a recess external of said storage space but within said imaginary extensions; a planar wall portion overhanging said recess; and an orifice in said overhanging wall portion adapted to receive a needle cap so that said cap extends at least partially into said recess.
  • a method of handling a hypodermic syringe using the aforedescribed syringe carrier wherein whenever the needle cap is removed from the hypodermic syringe the needle cap is placed in said orifice of the hypodermic syringe carrier and the needle cap subsequently reapplied by lowering the needle of the hypodermic syringe into the needle cap while the latter is stably retained in said orifice and applying pressure to press fit the needle cap to the hypodermic syringe for withdrawal of the syringe with the cap in place and placement of the capped syringe in the rimmed tray for further transport or storage.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hypodermic syringe carrier in accordance wih the invention adapted to retain two needle caps;
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing the needle cap of the syringe temporarily retained in a substantially upright position;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of an alternative hypodermic syringe • carrier in accordance with the present invention with a different configuration of cap-retaining orifices;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a kidney-shaped hypodermic syringe carrier in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 1 of the drawings shows a hypodermic syringe carrier of generally rectangular configuration, comprising an integral tray 1 adapted to receive and retain a hypodermic syringe.
  • Tray 1 has a peripheral upstanding side wall 3 and a flat bottom 2 with a surface by which the tray 1 may be rested on an underlying support.
  • Two orifices 5 at the corners of the tray 1 are so positioned with respect to bottom 2 and so dimensioned that each is adapted to receive and temporarily stably retain an elongate needle cap. More particularly, side wall 3 has an outstanding rim 4 about its upper edge terminating at an upturned lip 6. At each of the two corners of the tray containing orifices 5, the side wall 3 is offset inwardly to form an L-shaped wall segment 13a which defines a recess 12. An integral planar wall portion 4a overhangs recess 12 from the top of wall segment 13a, and extends parallel to tray bottom 2. It is thus spaced from any support on which the tray is resting. Each orifice 5 is a simple aperture positioned at the centre of overhanging wall portion 4a. Wall portion 4a is contiguous with rim 4.
  • wall segment 13 comprises a pair of perpendicular wall portions 13a, 13b which lie inwardly of the imaginary extensions of side portions 3a, 3b of upstanding side wall 3.
  • the needle cap 10 When an injection is to be administered, the needle cap 10 is removed at a first location and dropped into one of the orifices 5 of the hypodermic syringe carrier with its open end up.
  • the needle cap extends partially into recess 12 and the orifice 5 retains the needle cap 10 -with its axis substantially upright ( Figure 2) .
  • syringe carrier should be of a depth whereby the orifice 5 is so positioned with respect to the tray bottom 2 that the needle cap has sufficient of its length under rim portion 4a to enable it to be stably retained upright.
  • the closed end of the needle thereby contacting the underlying tray support.
  • the fluid to be injected is drawn into the hypodermic syringe from a supply bottle.
  • the needle cap 10 is then reapplied to the hypodermic syringe by lowering the needle of the hypodermic syringe into the needle cap 10 which is retained in the orifice 5. Downward pressure is applied to press fit the needle cap 10 onto the hypodermic syringe.
  • the hypodermic syringe with needle cap 10 applied can then be safely placed in the tray 1.
  • the hypodermic syringe carrier is then taken to a second location where the injection is administered. Once -again, when the needle cap 10 is removed it is placed in the orifice 5, and the needle cap 10 after the injection is administered being reapplied to the hypodermic syringe as before.
  • the hypodermic syringe carrier is then taken to a third location where the syringe can be disposed of.
  • the syringe carrier may be disposable or may be manufactured of a material which can be sterilized and re-used.
  • the needle cap 10 can be readily applied without any danger of needle-stick injury as the cap is not being held in the medical worker's hand as it is reapplied. There is also no danger of needle-stick injury if the tray is dropped or during disposal of the syringe.
  • the syringe carrier of the present invention is advantageous because the orifice 5 is positioned internally of the outstanding rim 4 and of the generally rectangular profile of the side wall 3. This feature enhances the stability of the hypodermic syringe carrier when a needle cap is being placed in an orifice 5 or a syringe is being recapped.
  • the tray 1 of Figures 1 and 2 is provided with two orifices 5 and is thus suitable for procedures involving two different injections.
  • the syringe carrier shown in Figure 3 has a portion of the side wall 3* at one end projecting inwardly to provide a planar wall portion 4a' overhanging a recess 12' centrally of the end of the rectangular tray. Both orifices 5' are in the planar wall portion 4a'.
  • the syringe carrier shown in Figure 3 is particularly advantageous because of the central positioning of the orifices 5*. The central positioning of orifices 5' ensures that the tray remains balanced when a needle cap 10 is placed within one of the orifices 5.
  • the syringe carrier shown in Figure 4 comprises a kidney shaped tray 1" and has a rim 4" about its upper edge.
  • Orifice 5" is within the peripheral rim 4" at the concave side of the tray 1..
  • the wall is curved further inwardly to enlarge the rim 4" to accomodate orifice 5".
