What is a sharps container?
Needles, syringes, injection devices, and lancets are all examples of medical instruments referred to as "sharps." A sharps container is a specially designed container used for the safe disposal of these medical sharp objects used in healthcare or home settings. They are designed with puncture-resistant walls and a secure lid to prevent accidental needlesticks and spillage.
Why is it important to properly dispose of used sharps?
By providing a secure and designated disposal method, sharps containers help minimize the risk of injury and infection transmission associated with improper disposal of sharp medical waste. Sharps are considered biohazard waste which means they must be handled and thrown out separately from household trash.
