Abstract
A needle cutting device (1) for cutting a needle (6) from a mount in a syringe (8) comprises cutting apparatus (220) and a container for storing cut needles. The container includes an aperture (4) having an axis along which a needle, but not a mount associated with the needle, may be introduced into the container. The cutting apparatus has first and second cutting surfaces (222, 223), at least the first cutting surface (222) being located at an end of a flexible blade member (226). The first cutting surface (222) is movable relative to the second cutting surface (223) in a direction transverse to the axis of the aperture by movement of at least part of the blade member in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the aperture to move the first cutting surface relative to the second cutting surface in order to nip and cut a needle within the aperture.
