Sharps Management & Disposal

Safe Medical Sharps Management and Disposal

At Trilogy MedWaste, we recognize the critical importance of safe medical sharps management and disposal within healthcare facilities, clinics, dentists, urgent cares, long-term care facilities, and other businesses dealing with medical waste. Sharps, being a common form of medical waste, encompass a broad spectrum of items such as needles, syringes, lancets, scalpels, and other devices crucial for patient care or medical procedures. Given their potential to cause injury and transmit infectious diseases, proper storage and disposal of these sharps is critical for the health and safety of your employees and patients.

Understanding Medical Sharps

Medical sharps encompass a variety of items used in healthcare settings that have the potential to puncture or lacerate the skin, posing a risk of injury and infection transmission. While compliance standards and categorizations vary at the local, state, and federal level, examples of items considered medical sharps include:

Needles
Syringes
Lancets
Scalpels
Razor blades
IV catheters
Autoinjectors
Infusion sets
Connection needles
Phlebotomy devices

These items are essential tools in medical procedures but require proper handling and disposal to ensure the safety of healthcare workers, patients, and the community.

Understanding Compliance Standards

It’s important to note that different types of medical waste, including sharps, are subject to specific compliance standards at local, state, and federal levels. These standards dictate the proper segregation, storage, and disposal practices to ensure the safety of both healthcare workers and the public, as well as to protect the environment. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in severe penalties and liabilities for healthcare facilities and businesses.
