An assembly, for packaging and safely disposing of a needle structure, including a housing having at least one containment structure. The containment structure includes a hinge movably interconnecting a base and a needle retaining segment, between open and closed orientations. The retaining segment includes a compartment removably containing the needle structure therein and the base includes a chamber for reception of the compartment and medical needle therein, when in the closed orientation. The hinge normally biases the retaining segment and compartment outwardly at substantially a predetermined angular orientation relative to the base, in the open orientation, to facilitate access to the medical needle through an access opening in the compartment. A closure is fixedly connected to and movable with both the base and the retaining segment and is structured to removably secure the housing in the closed orientation.

Needle packaging and disposal assembly

A closure for a medical solution containing bottle, including a cap having a shroud disposed in closing relation to the neck and access opening of the bottle. The cap is removably connected to the bottle and may include a shrouded tamper evident indicator member connected to an interior surface of the shroud, at least initially inwardly of an open end of thereof in a non-visually observable location. Upon removal of the cap from the bottle and replacement thereof, the indicator member will be disposed exteriorly of the shroud in a visually observable location on the bottle. The closure may also include a spout integrated into the cap in a fixed, removable connection therewith, such that the spout is movable with the cap into closing relation of cap to the bottle neck and access opening.

Tamper evident integrated closure

A tamper evident closure (TEC) for a medical container includes a cover having an access opening and a tip cap removably disposed therein. First and second snap structures are respectively disposed within said cover and on said tip cap and are cooperatively disposed and configured to removably restrict exiting of said tip cap from said cover, via said access opening and in movable engagement with one another concurrent to said exiting of said tip cap. Each of the first and second snap structures are disposed and configured for movable, sliding engagement with one another, concurrent to the exiting of said tip cap. At least one component of the TEC is dimensioned and configured to define a flexure thereof, concurrent to the sliding engagement of first and second snap structures, resulting in a snap-action disconnection of said tip cap from said cover.
