Cutting-edge design leads to efficient and safe needle disposal
The Sharps Terminator® will destroy the needle from the tip to the hub as the needle body completes a circuit between two angled copper electrodes. Resistance from the needle creates heat sufficient to destroy the metal portion of the needle. The device then cuts the plastic “hub” above the metal needle so that no metal is left on the syringe. Finally, the debris from the needle falls into a clean-out tube at the bottom where it is exposed to UV light to eliminate contaminants. The remaining plastic syringe is no longer a sharp and can be disposed in the regular medical waste bag.
