Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007011328
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention is a method for completely disabling the needle portion of a hypodermic needle (110) of the type currently being used by the medical industry, veterinarians, diabetics, drug abusers, and others. The first step is a method for destroying the needle portion of a hypodermic needle (110) up until there is only a small stub (114) of the needle protruding from the plastic portion (116) of the hypodermic needle (110). The nest step is to heat the plastic (116) that holds the needle portion of the hypodermic needle (110) until it becomes pliable. Next the stub (114) is pressed against a hard surface (118) forcing the stub (114) into the plastic portion (116) of the needle.
