<p>A medical needle system comprises a carrier (10) having a first cylindrical chamber (11) for the storage of a medical needle and a second cylindrical chamber (12) configured as a vial loader. The two cylindrical chambers (11, 12) of the carrier (10) are disposed side by side with their axes generally parallel. The first cylindrical chamber (11) is closed at one end (13) and has a removable seal (15) to close the open other end (14) in order to seal within the first chamber a medical needle which may be in the form of a safety needle assembly (36). The second cylindrical chamber (12) has an internal wall (17) carrying a needle (18) for penetrating the bung (25) of a vial (23), the needle having a hub (19) to which the forward end (33) of a syringe (29) may be connected.</p> |
