What is a sharps container?
Sharps containers are specially designed medical waste containers used to safely dispose of sharp medical items such as needles, syringes, injection devices, and lancets. They are made with puncture-resistant materials and secure closures to help prevent accidental injuries and exposure to hazardous sharps.
Why is it important to properly dispose of used sharps?
Proper disposal of used sharps helps reduce the risk of needlestick injuries, accidental exposure, and infection transmission. Used needles and other sharps should never be placed in regular household trash because they require separate handling and disposal as medical waste.
