A N D Y
Automatic Needle Destroyer
ANDY is medical hardware
that automatically detaches the needle from a used syringe
41% of the needlestick injuries occur while separating the syringe. With ANDY, syringe disposal becomes safe and easy, significantly dropping the rate of needlestick injuries.
ANDY is unique in that it fully considers both the usability for nurses and the overall hospital environment. Existing devices that melt needles with heat are too large to be battery powered and consume too much energy for hospital use.
Safety-engineered syringes are much more expensive and require the extra step of needle removal after use. In contrast, ANDY is compact, lightweight, and portable, ensuring both work efficiency and the safety of healthcare workers. It is also more hospital-friendly as it does not emit smoke or sparks during operation.
