  • Disposable needle and syringe destructor unit
    Patent number: 4969379
    Abstract: An hygienically disposable needle and syringe destructor unit is designed for receiving and destroying used needles and syringes and retaining them within a hermetically sealed enclosure. The needle and syringe are broken in three parts to ensure non-use and are trapped within a fluid impervious container. A viewing window allows the operator to ascertain when the container is full and a sealable cover hermetically seals the needle and syringe access aperture so that the unit can be disposed of without fear of damage to the environment.
