Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for disposal of needles. In particular, provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for safe and efficient disposal of medical and research needles.

A medical waste disposal and container washing system includes loading and unloading stations, the loading station configured for placing a medical waste container on a conveyor system. An inversion station is located downstream along the conveyor system, operable to reorient the container from a first orientation in which medical waste is retained to a second orientation in which the medical waste is discharged from the medical waste container by gravity as the medical waste container is moved within the inversion station. A first wash station along the conveyor system washes an interior of the container that has been reoriented. A second wash station is located downstream along the conveyor system.

A device for cutting, separation, and discharge of a syringe according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a barrel unit, a main body including a driving unit configured to rotate the barrel unit, and a cutting body configured to cut a needle portion of a syringe during rotation of the barrel unit, wherein transfer of the syringe inserted into the barrel unit, cutting of the needle portion, discharge of the needle portion, and discharge of a syringe main body are performed by only one rotation of the barrel unit.

Apparatuses and systems are provided which include one or more receptacles for receiving drugs and further include one or more stored supplies of one or more absorbent materials comprising crosslinkers, wherein the apparatus and systems are adapted to release the absorbent materials comprising crosslinkers into the one or more receptacles. A method is provided which includes depositing a drug into a predetermined amount of fluid and adding to the drug containing fluid a absorbent material comprising crosslinkers which is capable of encapsulating the drug containing fluid and possibly killing infectious materials within the fluid and/or denaturing the drug within the fluid.

A safety needle having a rigid outer structure within which there is a cannula holding element of being movably coupled to an injector pen for a drug is provided. The cannula holding element supports a cannula having a first extremity and a second extremity for administration of the drug. A moving protective element associated with the rigid structure, covers the second extremity of the cannula after administration, with provision being made for a deforming member capable of deforming the cannula after administration of the drug so that the second extremity of the cannula remains within the protective element. The deforming member is associated with the protective element and is capable of rotating autonomously with respect thereto after administration of the drug to deform the cannula.

A needle removing device includes a seat, a driving assembly, a removal assembly and a lift assembly. The driving assembly is disposed on the seat. The removal assembly has one end thereof connected to one end of the driving assembly away from the seat, and includes a needle winding member and a pressing member. The needle winding member is located on one end of the removal assembly away from the driving assembly. The pressing member is connected to the needle winding member. The lift assembly is disposed on the seat. The driving assembly and the removal assembly are movable relative to the seat via the lift assembly. The needle winding member includes a first rod and a second rod, wherein the first rod and the second rod are adjacently spaced to form a disassembly space. The pressing member includes a first elastic element and a second elastic element. The first elastic element is connected to the first rod, the second elastic element is connected to the second rod, and the first elastic element and the second elastic element cause the first rod and the second rod to be inclined close to each other. The first elastic element and the second elastic element cause the first rod and the second rod to clamp the needle, and the first rod and the second rod rotate to wind the needle.

Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for disposal of medical sharps. In particular, provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for safe and efficient destruction of medical and research sharps (e.g., needles).

The invention discloses a plastic injection syringe recovery and treatment device, which includes a work box and a work chamber located in the work box. A feed port is provided through the upper end wall of the work box, and the front and back wall of the work chamber are rotated. A first rotating shaft is located on the lower side of the feeding port, a first squeeze barrel is fixed on the first rotating shaft, and the front and rear cavity walls of the working cavity are provided with a frontal shaft located on the right side of the first rotating shaft. There are two rotating shafts, and a second squeeze barrel is fixed on the second rotating shaft. The present invention can recycle the used plastic syringes, and the residual gas and water in the used syringes are firstly squeezed by a squeezing device. Squeeze out and compress the plastic syringe to reduce its volume, and then crush the syringe through the crushing device to heat and melt the crushed syringe. During the heating process, it also sterilizes the metal needle. Function, after heating and melting, the molten plastic liquid is separated from the metal needle, and the classification and recovery are completed.
