The little video that is on the page is pretty cool. The syringe is placed into a hole at the top of the device and then the blue button is held down for a few seconds. After the button is released the syringe is removed and the needle is just a little black blob on the end of the syringe. Pretty neat!
I wonder if there is a larger version of one of these avaliable for doctor offices. Not that the sharps containers don’t do a good job right now but this could make it safer and easire to dispose of.
I want one that I can drop a soda can into and get a little button of aluminium when it’s done. That would beat the heck out of hauling big bags of crushed cans to the recyclers…
The DISINTEGRATOR is a portable, easy-to-use device that allows for safe disposal of used insulin syringes by disintegrating the needle. Its small size and affordable price makes the DISINTEGRATOR practical for both the home and office.
Because the DISINTEGRATOR destroys the needle immediately after use, it eliminates the need to transport and store hazardous sharps in separate containers.
The revolutionary DISINTEGRATOR utilizes a unique plasma arc to melt the needle at a temperature of over 2500° Fahrenheit, reducing it to a small “bb” shaped ball. The built-in rechargeable battery will disintegrate over 40 needles between charges.
