1. A device for handling a disc retained in a container, the disc having a substantially flat body and an internal edge defining an aperture in said body, the disc being retained by a plurality of radially spaced retaining fingers contacting the internal edge of said disc, the device comprising:
- a first arm having a free end;
- a second arm having a free end;
- biasing means that urges the free ends of said first arm and said second arm radially apart; and
- engaging means attached to the free end of each of said first arm and said second arm, the engaging means comprising a fin projecting from each said free end and having a retaining recess, each fin having a thickness for insertion between adjacent retaining fingers, each fin being insertable within said aperture and between adjacent retaining fingers by application of pressure to urge the free ends towards each other and by release of said pressure to allow said retaining recess to be inserted between said adjacent retaining fingers and abut against said internal edge defining said aperture.
