The apparatus includes a heat conductive container (12) for maintaining used syringes (14) and a means for applying heat (20) to the heat conductive container (12) in an amount sufficient to melt the plastic of the syringes (14). The melted plastic can encapsulate the non-plastic portions of the syringes (14) and form a molten mass. The molten mass is rendered sterile by the heat. The process for sterile disposal of used syringes in this manner is also provided.</p> |
