ABSTRACT:
A disposal assembly (10) includes a base (14) and four walls (20) extending perpendicularly out therefrom defining a hollow interior (22) partially filled with a plurality of layers. The bottom-most layer (38) is fabricated of styrofoam which, along with the tapered cylinders (28) and hydrostatic pressure, secures the medical instruments (12) therein. A layer of dry disinfectant (36) covers the styrofoam (38). A layer of sponge (34) directly covers the dry disinfectant (36). When fluid is injected into the dry disinfectant (36) to create a disinfectant solution, the sponge (34) absorbs the solution and distributes it across the entire cross section of the disposal assembly (10). A semi-viscous material (40) seals the disinfectant solution and the infected portions (26) of the medical instruments (12) in an anaerobic environment. The fluid is inserted into the dry disinfectant layer (36) by inserting a needle (50) through a hole (46) in the top plate (24) and through the semi-viscous ( 40) and sponge (34) layers. The needle (50) is stopped in the proper place, i.e., at the dry disinfectant layer (34), by a needle stop (54). A cap (56) is locked to the four walls (20) after the disposal assembly (10) is full.
