Benefits of Our Medical Waste Containers
Gravity Balanced Safety Tray
This innovative tray design restricts hand access to the container’s interior, ensuring that sharps are safely released away from the user. The mechanism helps prevent accidental bloodborne pathogen exposure and reduces the risk of needlestick injuries during disposal.
Maximum Strength Hardened Plastic
Constructed from impenetrable ABS plastic, our containers are tested to withstand up to 500 wash cycles. This durability ensures the containers remain secure and intact even under frequent use, providing long-lasting protection.
Clearview Window
The transparent window on our containers allows for easy monitoring of fill levels. This feature ensures that staff can see when the container is nearing capacity without exposing them to the contents, helping to prevent overfilling and maintaining safety.
Wide Opening
Designed with a large aperture, our containers facilitate single-handed disposal of sharps. This wide opening minimizes the risk of injury by allowing for quick and easy disposal, ensuring that sharps do not need to be forced into the container.
No-Leak Seal
The precisely engineered lid seal prevents any leakage of fluids, such as blood or other body fluids, during transport. This no-leak feature ensures that hazardous materials are securely contained, protecting both staff and the environment from potential exposure.
Tamper-Proof Design
Equipped with permanent side locks, our containers prevent unauthorized access to the contents once the container is full. This tamper-proof feature ensures that once sharps are disposed of, they cannot be retrieved, adding an extra layer of security and safety.
Compliance with Regulations
Our FDA-cleared sharps containers meet all state and federal regulations for sharps waste management and disposal requirements. Daniels Health products are designed and maintained to adhere to the strictest safety and health standards, ensuring your facility remains compliant and avoids potential fines or penalties.
Environmental Considerations
Our sharps containers are designed with sustainability in mind. Their reusable nature significantly reduces plastic waste, and our robotic washing system ensures they are hygienically sanitized for multiple uses. This eco-friendly approach helps to minimize environmental impact while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Daniels Health Sharpsmart has consistently proven to be a safe and effective solution for our clients. These case studies highlight some of our successes:
6-Year Study: Sydney Adventist Hospital
Challenge: High rates of sharps injuries using small sharps containers.
Solution: Implemented Sharpsmart containers with large apertures, counter-balanced doors, and passive overfill protection.
Outcome: The intervention led to a dramatic reduction in sharps injuries. Key statistics include:
- Container-Associated Sharps Injuries (CASI): Fell by 94.9% during the implementation phase when Sharpsmart containers were placed in med-rooms.
- Disposal-Related Sharps Injuries: Fell by 71.1% during the same phase.
- Final Phase: After mounting Sharpsmart containers in patient rooms, CASI were reduced to zero, disposal-related sharps injuries fell by 83.1%, and recapping-related sharps injuries reduced by 85.1%.
This case study highlights the effectiveness of using larger, safety-engineered sharps containers positioned close to the point of sharps generation in significantly reducing sharps injuries.
5-Year Study: 103 Hospitals
Challenge: High plastic waste from disposable medical sharps containers.
Solution: Transition to reusable Sharpsmart containers.
Outcome: The conversion to Sharpsmart containers resulted in substantial environmental and operational benefits across the studied hospitals. Key statistics include:
- Medical Waste Reduction: Achieved a 28% reduction in overall medical waste, equating to 3.9 tons of waste per 100 beds annually.
- Container Exchange Labor: Reduced by 51% due to the use of larger Sharpsmart containers, which required fewer exchanges.
These results demonstrate the significant cost savings, environmental benefits, and operational efficiencies that the Daniels Health Sharpsmart system can provide.
