Do dialysis centers need special sharps containers?

Yes. Dialysis centers require high-capacity, hands-free sharps containers to safely dispose of large volumes of fistula needles, syringes, and IV catheters.

OSHA requires that sharps containers be puncture-resistant, leakproof, and labeled with the biohazard symbol. Daniels’ Sharpsmart containers are specifically designed for dialysis settings with hands-free operation (reducing needlestick injury risk by 87%), high capacity (3.7 to 8.5 gallons), and wall-mounted or mobile cart options for point-of-use disposal.
