"THE FIRST portable, battery-powered hypodermic needle incinerator, the 2-pound Sharpx® greatly reduces the risk of potential needlesticks. Health care workers simply insert the needle into the 6- by 3- by 3-inch device, and an electrical charge reduces the needle tip... in less than 10 seconds. A replaceable aluminum drawer captures the debris."

"NEEDLE DISPOSAL SYSTEM The Sharpx® Needle Destruction Unit is an easy-to-use, ergonomically designed portable device designed to destroy 19- to 27-gauge hypodermic needles. When used properly, it can reduce the life of a hypodermic needle to less than ten seconds, reducing the risk of a sharps incident. It employs a rechargeable battery to deliver a current that incinerates the needle and captures the debris in a replaceable aluminum-lined drawer."

"Biomedical Disposal Inc. (BDI), Norcross, GA, offers the Sharpx® Needle Destruction Unit (NDU), a portable device designed to destroy 19- to 27-gauge hypodermic needles 1/2 inch to 2 inches in length. The unit uses a rechargeable 7.2-volt NiCad battery to deliver a current between two electrodes, [destroying] the needle and capturing the debris in a replaceable, aluminum-lined drawer."

In concert with the introduction of the Sharpx® NDU, BDI will offer an Accidental Needlestick Incident Control System (ASharpx® ), a combination of technology and behavior modification using training programs specifically tailored to each organization’s requirements.
