A disposable surgical implement collector wherein a lamination of sponge plastic is provided at intervals with a series of spaced ribs, the ribs and adjacent portions of the lamination being depressed at intervals to form clearly marked channels dividing the ribs into a series of embossments which are numbered; each embossment adapted to receive a surgical needle or other small disposable surgical instrument; the sponge plastic lamination being bonded to a relatively rigid lamination provided with fold lines so that the complementary sections of the needle collector thus formed may enclosed the surgical instruments for disposal; the collector being provided with means for maintaining the collector in a folded condition. In one embodiment, each rib is folded upon itself in opposite lateral direction to confront adjacent portions of the laminations. In another embodiment, the sponge plastic lamination forms a series of compressed portions between the ribs, the ribs being less dense than the compressed portions therebetween, and the surfaces of the compressed portions may be textured to reduce reflection.
