Abstract: A disposable back table collection device having a container with an open end and at least one layer of an absorbent material positioned within the container. The open end of the container is sealed with a cover containing a leak resistant injection site. The invention also may have a second layer of an absorbent material positioned on top of the cover with an aperture therein corresponding to the location of the injection site. In use, a syringe is inserted into the injection port and the syringe is drained. The fluid from the syringe is absorbed into the layer of absorbent material. When the syringe is removed, the injection port has sufficient elastic "memory," or shape retaining characteristics, to return to its original position, thereby insuring a leak resistant seal. Further, there is no splashing while the syringe is either inserted or removed because any droplets of fluid that may escape from the syringe are absorbed into the absorbent material on the top of the device.
