Abstract:The Dissection of the needle destroyer was done in the lab. And
working principles of each module has been studied and observed. And then needle
destroyer was assembled back.

2. Introduction:Needle destroyer is a medical device used to destroy the needles
after Using and also remove a needle from a syringe. In developing countries, there
is still a need for improvements in needle safety in hospital settings as most of the
needle removal processes are done manually and under severe risk of hazard from
needles puncturing skin and allowing infection. These countries cannot afford
needles with individual safety devices attached, so needle-removers must be used
to remove the needle from the syringe. This lowers possible pathogen spread by
preventing the reuse of the syringes, reducing incidents of accidental needle-sticks,
and facilitating syringe disposal.
