<p>The invention relates to a device which is used to destroy sharp, pointed objects and which is provided with means for automatically unscrewing injecting needles and similar. The inventive device comprises a tube (2) containing two motors or a toothed wheel which is actuated by a saw-toothed part which, by sliding along the toothed wheel, causes said toothed wheel to rotate. In turn, the toothed wheel causes gears to move which force two solid cylindrical contacts to rotate. In this way, the needle is destroyed by means of friction and the flow of an electric current. Moreover, said device comprises a conduit therein which is used to evacuate the gases produced by the fusion of the needle without requiring the use of ventilators or any other forced air system. The device also comprises another tube which is used to separate the screw-type needle of a syringe as part of the needle destruction operation. Said device is also provided with a drawer (3) which houses a container for the rest of the needles and another cardboard container (70), which is disposed inside a receptacle (2), for the collection of plastic needleless syringes or other blunt hospital waste items. Said receptacle (2) contains an ozone or ultraviolet device (55) for sterilising syringes.</p> |
