ABSTRACT:
A device for enabling the safe disposal of contaminated used disposable blades, needles, and other sharps resulting from surgery or medical treatment comprises a container (1) having two compartments, a first, closed compartment (2) including a slot (16) and a re-entrant wall portion (12) and a second compartment (3) including a hinged lid (4). Means (8, 9) are provided inside the second compartment (3) securely to hold used needles (22, 23, 24) and a catch (7) is provided to hold the lid (4) of the second compartment (3) closed. The slot (16) and re-entrant wall portion (12) enable a used blade to be inserted into the slot (16) with the re-entrant wall portion accommodating a handle upon which the used blade is mounted and a disarming unit (14, 15) is located adjacent the slot (16) and re-entrant wall portion (12) to remove the blade from the handle. At least part of the wall (10) of the first compartment (2) is transparent to enable the contents of the first compartment (2) to be inspected and counted.
