  • Patent number: 4974603
    Abstract: A needle ejector apparatus to be used for removing a needle from a blood sample vacuum tube container, the apparatus being structurally adapted to receive a vacuum tube container and attached needle therein whereupon the downward depression of a push rod on the apparatus causes an engaging means to grasp a rubber cap on the needle located within the interior of the vacuum tube container. Further depression of the push rod causes rotation of a head structure and attached engaging means thereby enabling separation and ejection of the needle from the vacuum tube container after use without the necessity of the needle being touched by medical personnel. Danger of contamination by inadvertent puncture when removing the needle from the vacuum tube container is thereby eliminated.
