HOW CAN YOU USE MEDICAL SYRINGES?
Most of the syringes are used by medical experts. But some 
medical conditions, such as diabetes, need patients to learn the 
administration of the injection themselves. The doctors help the 
patient to learn the administration of the syringe and what is the 
right syringe and needle for them. 
The 3cc syringe with needle is used commonly. 
• However, various factors help to devise the right needle and 
syringe, like the amount of the dose you need to take, what 
type of skin then you have, such as thick or soft, etc. 
• After determining everything, the doctor recommends the 
patient inject themselves.

HOW TO DISPOSE OF MEDICAL SYRINGES?
You can dispose of the used syringe and needle in the 
sharp disposal container. Once used, you can throw your 
sharps right away in the Sharps disposal containers.
Sharps containers have received FDA clearance. And 
pharmacies, medical supply firms, healthcare 
organizations, and online stores typically offer these 
containers. 
 
These containers include leak-resistant sides and bottoms 
made of polyethylene that won't puncture easily. 
Additionally, they have a tightly fitting, waterproof lid. You 
can also use a heavy-duty plastic household container, 
such as a laundry detergent container, as a substitute if 
you do not find FDA-cleared containers accessible.
WHY IS SHARPS DISPOSAL 
IMPORTANT? 
If you do not dispose of them properly, used needles and other 
sharp objects can cause injuries to humans and pets. Further, they 
can spread infections that can result in life-threatening illnesses. 
The most typical illnesses include:
• Hepatitis B (HBV),
• Hepatitis C (HCV), and
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
 
So, no matter where you use the sharps, whether at home, at 
work, in school, on the road, or in other public settings like hotels, 
parks, and restaurants, it is always crucial to properly dispose of 
sharps so that no one has to face danger. 
WHAT TO DO IF YOU ACCIDENTLY STUCK 
BY A USED NEEDLE OR OTHER SHARP?
If you accidentally poke yourself with a used needle 
or another sharp object, wash the area with soap and 
water or apply an antiseptic such as rubbing alcohol 
or hand sanitizer. It is the best way to prevent 
yourself from any deadly infection in the first place. 
Then, call your doctor or the nearest hospital to 
receive immediate medical help.
 
You can follow the same process if you receive blood 
or other bodily fluids in your eyes, nose, mouth, or 
skin. The last thing to do is not panic. Stay calm and 
try to reach the doctor as soon as possible.
