JPS6470064A - Container for disposal of medical syringe - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a container capable of separating an injection needle from a syringe main body to discard the same, by forming the absorbing layer interposed between an inner case having heat resistance and liquid permeability and a combustible outer case from material quality easily burnt at the usual combustion temp. of an incinerator and absorbing and holding a liquid. CONSTITUTION:A syringe M having an injection needle N mounted thereto and a syringe M having an injection needle N unified therewith are charged in an inner case 1 and the liquids such as a drug, blood or the like leaked from the charged syringes M transmit through the wall of the inner case 1 because the inner case has liquid permeability to be absorbed and held by an absorbing layer 3. Since an outer case 2 has liquid impermeability, the liquid absorbed and held by the absorbing layer 3 can be prevented from infection by pathogenic bacteria and safety can be secured. When the inner case 1 is filled with the charged syringes M, the opening part of the inner case 1 is hermetically closed by a non-combustible plug to perform burning in an incinerator. The outer case 2 and the absorbing layer 3 are formed of easily combustible material quality to be burnt off in the incinerator and the inner case 1 is left in an unburnt state even in the incinerator because of its heat resistance and the syringes M are heated by high temp. combustion heat to kill pathogenic bacteria.
