Abstract: Disposable syringes are marketed with a plastic cover which protects the needle assembly inserted within. Typically, the end of the cover that extends towards the barrel of the syringe is designed with a surrounding lip. The holder of the invention is fixed to a surface or stand to receive the cover and grasp, secure or envelop its surrounding lip. In use, the syringe, with its cover, is placed into the holder, slid to one side for the lip of the cover to be grasped, and then the syringe and needle assembly can then be safely pulled away from the cover. To dispose of it, the syringe is reinserted into the grasped cover, then slid with the cover out of the grasp of the holder to the other side, where a pair of nibs are provided to limit its movement and allow for the syringe, with its cover in place, to be lifted out. The holder of the invention makes almost impossible any accidental jabbing of one's fingers or hand in removing the needle assembly from, or inserting it back into, the syringe cover.
