VARIABLE CONFIGURATION CONTAINER

摘要

A variable configuration container (1) for the supply of unused syringes and safe disposal of used syringes is provided. The container has a base (2), at least one side wall (3) extending from the base (2) to an opening (5), and a lid (6) hinged to the side wall (3) and shaped to close the opening (5). The side wall (3) has an extent from base (2) to opening (5) that is sufficient to exceed the longitudinal extent of a syringe. The container (1) further comprises at least one syringe module (16) having an array (17) of one way syringe receiving openings (18) each having a syringe latch means (19) to resiliency lock a flange of a used syringe. Each module (16) has a module latch means (21) engageable with the container (1) to prevent removal of the module (16) once it is inserted into the opening (5) whereby the container (1) can be configured to retain either one or a plurality of the modules latched (16) therein.
