A safety disposal cap for use with pen needles allows patients to safely dispose of needles without having to carry a sharps container. The cap seals the outer cover over the patient end of the pen needle while providing protection also to the non-patient end of the needle. The cap can be made as a unitary structure with the outer cover or as a separate component.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 19, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 19, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 19, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
