ABSTRACT:
The medical waste disposer has a frame and a receiving chamber connected with the frame. The receiving chamber has a discharge port and an anvil is connected with the receiving chamber adjacent the discharge port. The anvil has an anvil aperture extending through the anvil and aligned with the discharge port. A knife abuts and slides against the anvil along an axis. A knife hole extends through the knife. An assembly plate abuts the knife in sliding engagement to sandwich the knife between the anvil and the assembly plate. The assembly plate also has an opening extending through the plate. A drive is operatively connected with the knife to slide the knife. The knife slides between a first position in which the knife hole overlaps the anvil aperture and a second in which the knife hole is offset from the anvil aperture and overlaps the assembly plate opening. Each of the knife and the assembly plate may have a second hole or opening, spaced along the axis from the first hole or opening. Further, multiple knives and assembly plates may be stacked one upon the other to provide repeated, sequential cutting. The thickness of each knife may be sized progressively thinner to provide smaller cuttings and a desired mutilation of the waste being disposed.
