Sharps Container

What is a sharps container?

A sharps container is a rigid, puncture-resistant box used to safely dispose of sharp medical objects such as needles, syringes, lancets, and other medical instruments. They are essential in healthcare settings, along with the use of biohazard bags, to prevent injury and the spreading of infection.

Why is it important to use a sharps container?

Sharps containers are crucial for maintaining a safe environment in healthcare settings. Improper sharps disposal can lead to needle-stick injuries, which can further result in the transmission of diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. Sharps containers help to prevent these potential health risks.

How should I dispose of a full sharps container?

When a sharps container is about three-quarters full, it should be closed securely and kept out of reach of children and pets. Many communities have programs or facilities for sharps waste disposal. Some pharmacies and healthcare clinics also accept full sharps containers. It's important to check local guidelines for sharps disposal.

What materials are sharps contaienrs made from?

Sharps containers are typically made from rigid plastic to withstand potential puncture from sharp medical instruments. They are also often color-coded and marked to identify them as biohazardous waste containers.

Where can I buy a sharps container?

Sharps containers are available from many sources, including online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Harmony Lab & Safety Supplies. Always ensure that the container you purchase complies with local regulations and the standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the relevant regulatory body in your country.
