This invention is directed to a method and apparatus for electrically destroying a syringe needle. The apparatus includes a housing (12) having a burnchamber 114) with a first electrical contact (33) with a conical shaped port (40) mounted on a front face wail (32) of the burn chamber (14) and a second electrical contact (53) made of a block secured to the burn chamber (14) is used to destroya hypodermic needle (50). The conical shaped port (40) and an opening (37) are sized to receive the metal needle portion (42), the neck portion (44), shoulder portion (46) and body portion (48) of the hypodermic needle (50). A battery (78)is used to energize the contacts (33,53). When the hypodermic needle (50) is in the opening (37) the length of the needle (50) is in contact with the second contact (53) melting of at least most of the needle's length, with the resultingmelted waste falling into a tray (70).
Un logement (12) possédant une chambre de calcination (14) comportant un premier contact électrique (33) pourvu d'un élément d'introduction conique (40) monté sur une face avant (32) du logement (12), et un deuxième contact électrique (53) constitué par un bloc fixé à la chambre de calcination (14) sert à détruire une seringue hypodermique (50). L'élément d'introduction conique (40) et une ouverture (37) sont dimensionnés pour recevoir l'aiguille en métal (42), le manchon (44), l'embout de fixation (46) et le cylindre (48) de la seringue hypodermique (50). Une pile (78) sert à exciter les contacts (33, 53). Quand la seringue hypodermique (50) se trouve dans l'ouverture (37), l'aiguille est exposée sur sa longueur au deuxième contact (53), ce qui en fait fondre au moins la majeure partie qui ensuite tombe dans un plateau (70).
