I think it's called the one handed method. So u use your other Hand to push the lid on but only once the sharp point is well inside

I thought it is where u leave the lid lying on the table and without touching the lid slide the used needle into it then press it on and remove syringe

On my OSCEs, I resheathed using an artery forcep that was on the table.

We have plastic blocks at work with 3 holes in it that are needle cap sized and we use that for re-sheathing

I believe you either have a device that cuts the needle off or you disguard the entire syringe with out resheathing at all, as if you try to re sheath then you are at risk of needle stick injury. for re sheathing a normal needle, I would not bother and just remove the needle using the sharps bin.

I wouldn't resheath, just place the whole thing in the sharps bin (this is an option for this task)

If resheathing is absolutely necessary, use a pair of artery forceps of a foam wedge.
