An anti-needlestick system is provided comprising a housing assembly. The assembly has a body portion. The body portion has distal and proximal ends, a cylindrical extent, and upper and lower sections. The distal end has a first aperture. The proximal end has a second aperture. The upper section has a lower edge and the lower section has an upper edge. A pair of flexible hinge portions is provided. The upper ends are coupled to the upper section. The lower ends are coupled to the lower section. The hinge portions are adapted to allow movement between closed and open orientations. Handling elements are formed with the main body portion. The handling elements include an upwardly extending projection located on the upper section essentially coplanar with the distal end to facilitate one handed utilization of the system.
