Abstract
A device for the destruction of an injection needle has a sleeve (6; 14) in which the needle (3) mounted on a syringe may be inserted. The sleeve includes projections (9; 16) located beneath one another and projecting from opposite sides towards the path of movement of the needle within the sleeve. The projections are forced, by means of an actuator (5; 16) which is movably disposed in the sleeve and, as a result of engagement with the needle holder (4) is entrained in the movement of the needle, to move towards and into the path of movement of the needle so that the needle is bent or broken between these projections and is, in such a manner, rendered unusable.
