Safe Disposal of Medical Sharps:
An Important Health Concern
‘Sharps’ is a medical term used for devices that have
sharp points or edges capable of puncturing or
cutting skin. They are items necessary for
administering medicines or manage medical
conditions, including allergies, cancer, diabetes,
arthritis, hepatitis, infertility, migraines, HIV/AIDS,
multiple sclerosis, blood clotting disorders,
osteoporosis, and psoriasis. Used sharps are
potentially harmful as well as infectious and hence, it
is very important to follow proper techniques of
medical sharps disposal to avoid spreading of
diseases.
Methods of Medical Sharps
Disposal
It is mandatory to dispose of used sharps immediately by
placing them in a container designated for sharps disposal.
There are a variety of FDA-cleared sharps containers available
in the market that can be obtained through medical supply
companies, pharmacies, health care providers as well as
through online stores.
These medical sharps disposal containers are made with plastic
that cannot be easily punctured and have leak-resistant sides
as well as the bottom. They also come with a tight-fitting,
puncture-resistant lid.
Alternatively, the latest innovative solutions for
medical waste disposal are also available in the market. They
do not require any separate storage before treating medical
sharps. Such products can turn medical waste into sterilized
trash that is safe to be disposed of in a garbage can without any
hazardous side effects.
Importance of Safe Disposal of
Medical Sharps
Needles or other medical sharps that have already been used can
pose serious and dangerous health risks to people and pets if
they are not disposed of safely. This is because people can be
injured by them and get infected.
The most common of the infections include Hepatitis B (HBV),
Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
That is why safe disposal of medical sharps is essential
irrespective of whether they are used at home, at school, at work,
while traveling, or in any public places like hotels, parks, or
restaurants.
It is crucial not to dispose of any loose needles and other used
medical sharps that have not been put into a sharps disposal
container, in an open, easily accessible trashcan or recycling bin.
They should not be flushed down the toilet as it can put the
janitors, trash and sewage workers, household members,
housekeepers, and children at risk of being harmed.
