There is described a method for handling reusable hypodermic needles in which the needle does not exist as a separate entity. Rather, the needle is either attached to a hypodermic syringe or encased in an open ended tube which serves as a means for handling the needle and attaching the needle to or removing it from the syringe as well as a protection against damage to the needlepoint during sterilization. The combined needle and tube can be stored in a receptacle which normally supports the combination in a horizontal position, but which permits vertical rotation of the combination to present one end to the user with a popup action.
