A sharps container (10) for safe reception and storage of used pen needles, pen needle assemblies, syringe needles, syringe needle covers, and combinations thereof comprises a substantially non-porous housing which includes a means for receiving said pen needles, pen needle assemblies, syringe needles, syringe needle covers, and combinations thereof in an internal storage compartment sized to facilitate the safe storage of a plurality of used pen needles or syringe needles and optional needle covers. The internal storage compartment may include a material capable of absorbing and storing fluids which may incidentally be associated with the used pen needles or syringe needles. The means for receiving pen needles, pen needle assemblies, syringe needles, syringe needle covers, and combinations thereof is visually distinguished from the surrounding portions of the housing and conveys the pen needles, pen needle assemblies, syringe needles, syringe needle covers, and combinations thereof from the exterior of the container to the internal storage compartment. |
