Means for safely handling medical needles such as needle electrodes, also known as surgical probes, and hypodermic needles. The needle handler can remove the needle for use and return the used needle to its sheath for disposal using only one hand, thereby avoiding any risk of inadvertent penetration of the used needle point in the other hand. The needle sheath is retained in fixed position in a stand or the like at the handler's work station and the sheath and stand are designed to render the sheathed needle readily installable in and removable from the stand by single-handed manipulation.
