Safely Dispose of Medical Sharps for Your Healthcare Facility
What is Medical Sharps Waste?
Sharps waste consists of used, non-sterile medical instruments such as needles, syringes, scalpels, and lancets that have either been used in medical procedures or to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. After use, these items are now contaminated with bodily fluids and possible life threatening blood borne pathogens and diseases such as HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis. These items are referred to as “sharps” because they can puncture skin and transmit and cause infection to others if not properly disposed of.
How to Safely Dispose of Sharps?
Any medical practice or business that regularly generate contaminated medical sharps should have the proper sharps waste disposal containers on site. These containers are designed to prevent injury and the spread of potentially life threatening illnesses – Never ever put sharps waste in the regular trash!
