The device comprises a housing 1 having an aperture for access to a pair of electrical contacts adapted to make contact with a hypodermic needle at spaced positions to heat and destroy the needle between those positions as the needle is fed, roughly axially, towards the contacts. The device is battery powered and preferably completely self-contained with provision for recharging or replacing the battery. Two access apertures 3, 4 may be provided, one being formed to enable the removal of friction fit needle bases from a syringe and the other to facilitate removal of screw thread type bases such as barrel or twist noodles. <IMAGE> |
