A needle cutter is a device that destroys the needle of a used syringe. It typically includes a sharp metal cutting blade housed in a plastic container. Needle cutters are used by doctors and nurses in hospitals and clinics. They are designed to cut a syringe to prevent reuse. Some needle cutters have separate holes for different cutting applications. They are manually operated and are considered economical and safe. In most hospital and medical settings in the U.S., needle safety regulations are maintained through individual needle safety devices and needle disposal boxes.
