Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé d’inhibition complète de la portion aiguille d’une aiguille hypodermique (110) du type utilisé couramment par l’industrie médicale, les vétérinaires, les diabétiques, les consommateurs de drogue et autres. La première phase est un procédé de destruction de la portion aiguille d’une aiguille hypodermique (110) jusqu’à ce qu’il ne reste plus qu’un petit embout (114) de l’aiguille faisant saillie de la portion plastique (116) de l’aiguille hypodermique (110). La phase suivante consiste à chauffer le plastique (116) qui maintient la portion aiguille de l’aiguille hypodermique (110) pour la rendre malléable. Ensuite, l’embout (114) est appuyé contre une surface dure (118) rentrant de force l’embout (114) dans la portion plastique (116) de l’aiguille.
