2139347 9401153 PCTABS00030 The apparatus for destroying surgical instruments (20), particularly hypodermic needles and scalpels has a box-like body which forms a plate (2) for the insertion of the surgical instruments (20) to be destroyed. The plate (2) is arranged at a unit (11, 12) for the removal and traction of the instruments (20) in order to insert the instruments (20) and place them against a panel (60) made of an electrically conducting material. The panel (60) and the removal and traction unit (11, 12) are respectively electrically connected to opposite poles of an electric current generator. There is also an insertion sensor for activating the removal and traction unit (11, 12) when the instruments (20) to be destroyed are inserted through a hole (3) in the insertion plate (2). |
