Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2770406A1] The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for individual destruction of syringe needles by melting under the effect of a high intensity electric current. Said apparatus comprises a lower electrode (15) adapted to receive the free end of a needle (12) and to form with it an electric contact, electrically connected to a first terminal (35) of an electric power source (2), a first upper electrode (18) electrically connected to a second terminal (34) of an electric power source (2), and a second upper electrode (27) adapted to be placed in electric contact with the needle (12) surface substantially radially opposite the first upper electrode (18), said second upper electrode (27) being electrically connected to the first terminal (35). The needle (12) is destroyed by being melted flush with the hub (41) between the two electrodes (18, 27).
