A sharps container with a no-hands access safety tray is CRUCIAL, especially when situated in a patient environment. Daniels patented Sharpsmart tray achieves 100% hand-access restriction, even for tiny inquisitive hands!
This is just the start of its life cycle… Let us take you on a journey of what happens to a Daniels Sharpsmart container from the moment we drop it off at your hospital dock right through to its robotic emptying and washing process. It’s a fascinating adventure our little containers have – where they’re mounted, how they’re moved, and who interacts with them daily.
As healthcare facilities across the United States increasingly focus on reducing the environmental impact of their waste streams (and as environmental impact regulations increase), it is vital to understand the difference between disposing of sharps, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical waste in ‘reusable’ containers, and disposing of them in ‘disposable’ or ‘recyclable’ containers.
Countless stories of organizational change – cost and waste reduction, labor reduction, CO2 emissions reductions, improved safety.
