A needle holding device 10 has an elongated hollow body 12 with first and second ends, the first end 18 being substantially open for receiving a needle 35. The hollow body also has a locking member 26 disposed adjacent to the first end of the hollow body. The locking member has an opening to receive and non-releasably hold a needle inserted therethrough. Preferably, the locking member has one or more protrusions 30 directed inwardly toward the opening, the protrusions being adapted to engage a needle in a locking relationship when the needle is inserted through the opening in the locking member. The needle holding device also has an elastomeric sealing member 22 connected to the hollow body, the elastomeric sealing member disposed adjacent the first end of said hollow body, adapted to admit and seal around a needle pierced therethrough.
