Abstract
An apparatus for destroying a medical instrument includes a housing having a wall member with an aperture disposed therein. A first electrical connector member is mounted adjacent the wall member of the housing for engaging a portion of a medical instrument inserted through the aperture in the wall member. A second electrical connector member is disposed within the housing for engaging an end portion of a medical instrument inserted through the aperture in the wall member. The first and second electrical connector members are provided to be selectively connected to a supply of electric current for destroying the medical instrument by transmitting current from the first electrical connector member to the second electrical connector member and through a medical instrument for melting the same. The second electrical connector member may be spring biased toward the aperture and pivotally mounted.
