A novel self-blunting needle apparatus ( ) employs a blunting member ( ) and a needle ( ). The blunting member ( ) may be disposed within the needle ( ) and may be adapted for fluid flow therethrough. The needle ( ) may then be inserted into a patient's tissue and the blunting member ( ) may be extended to blunt the apparatus. In other embodiments, e.g., apparatus ( ), a driver ( ) may be employed to move the blunting member ( ) without obstructing fluid flow. There may be a locking spline ( ) and cam channel ( ) configuration to prevent backward motion of the blunting member ( ) in various embodiments. A hollow body ( ) is configured to facilitate assembly.

A disposed system for medical waste, and particularly sharp ended waste, includes a sharps receptacle and a companion needle holder. The needle holder has an actuation mechanism capable of detachably mounting an externally threaded hub of a needle assembly to the holder. The sharps receptacle has a top with an automatic release structure disposed thereon for engagement with the actuation mechanism of the needle holder. The automatic release structure cooperates with the actuation mechanism of the needle holder to automatically detach a mounted needle assembly from the holder into the sharps receptacle in response to placement of the holder into the automatic release structure.
