An IV, vacutainer, butterfly, or syringe needle cover and dispenser for a plurality of such needle covers that provides individual release of the covers. The dispenser is adapted for attachment to a wall, other surface or a tray. The dispenser is provided with a hinged door which partially covers the bottom needle cover while it allows for the insertion of a needle into that needle cover. The needle cover is provided with gripping surfaces that secure the cover to a needle after needle insertion. The hinged door swings out of the way to allow for the withdrawal from the dispenser of the needle cover attached to a needle. The device insures safe disposal of used needles.
