Medical waste fragmentation and disposal system

A portable desk top "medical waste" fragmentation device and disposal system, complying with governmental requirements of maximum residual fragment size and sanitization. The fragmentation device includes a chamber having a rotating blade for fragmenting medical waste such as needles, syringes, vials and extracted teeth. For maximum effectiveness in reducing the medical waste into the requisite fragment size, the blade, with minimal clearance, passes between a U-shaped stationary member. During operation, the U-shaped member serves to momentarily hold the items to be fragmented in a stationary position as the blade fragments it in a shearing-type action. To ensure complete minimum size fragmentation, an agitating member continually throws the fragments into the path of the rotating blade. After the fragmentation is completed to the requisite size, the fragmentation chamber is opened into a disposal chute. The fragmented particles are drawn by centripetal force through the disposal chute into a removable and disposable receptacle having a sterilization or germicidal solution contained therein. The disposable receptacle, with sanitized waste, can thereafter be safely and legally thrown away as ordinary trash.

Dry running medical waste disposal device

A compact medical waste disposal device, operable without water or other processing, disposal or disinfecting fluid or solution, for pulverizing Sharps into medically acceptably safe small particles, and directing the particles into a disposable container. The disposal device comprises a waste receiving and pulverizing chamber containing a pulverizing disc blade, with the disc blade being operable only when the pulverizing chamber is sealed. The pulverizing disc grinds the medical waste against the inner surface of a closely adjacent liner of the pulverizing chamber. Relatively heavy elements, rotatably swing on the upper surface of the pulverizing disc to direct medical waste materials and fragments, towards the pulverizing interface between disc and liner. Comminuted medical waste, falls beneath the blade into a disposal chamber, where a sweeper element, integral with the underside of the disc blade and rotatable therewith, continuously completely clears pulverized material, without fluid disposal carriers, into an outlet attached to a disposable container. The disc blade embodies at least one short recessed portion of the circumference thereof, preferably in the form of a flat, offset from the liner by up to 1/8", to permit resilient medical waste (rubber, plastic and similar materials) to pass therethrough without blade jamming.

Integrated device for crushing and vapor-steaming medical waste enabling fast maintenance and repair and having replaceable blade

An integrated device for crushing and vapor-steaming medical waste enables fast maintenance and repair and has a replaceable blade, and is a detachable vertical structure that is integrally assembled. The device is integrally formed as one piece by three parts: a loading and stirring compartment (1), a crushing compartment (2), and a sterilizing and unloading compartment (3). The crushing compartment is installed with a movable blade assembly and a stationary blade assembly therein. Maintenance gates (2-3) are disposed at two sides of the crushing compartment. The maintenance gate of a crushing machine and a bearing seat (2-9) of a movable blade shaft (2-2) of the movable blade assembly are designed as one piece, and a stationary blade (2-7) of the stationary blade assembly is pressed by a pressing plate (2-8) onto an inner wall of the crushing compartment, and screws for securing the pressing plate are installed outside in. To maintain or replace the blade of the crushing machine, the maintenance gate is detached such that the replacement process of a movable blade (2-6) of the movable blade assembly can be completed outside the crushing compartment; furthermore, the operator only needs to loosen the tightening screws of the pressing plate outside the crushing compartment and does not need to enter the machine to replace the stationary blade. The present invention addresses the problems in which the replacement of the blade of the crushing machine requires a hoisting device to hoist out the entire blade roller of the crushing machine, or requires the compartment to be removed, or requires the operator to enter the compartment, thus improving working efficiency and preventing the operator from entering a dangerous area.
