Proper sharps disposal is required by law, and having a strong, secure and tamper proof unit is something that every patient care facility should have readily available. Because of the inherent danger of used needles, medical supplies and items that are soiled with bodily fluids, a proper disposal system is incredibly important to have in order to minimize risk. Infectious disease control and personal safety are two essential components to proper sanitation measures, and proper and adequate sharps disposal is a key thing to think about in developing a sound and comprehensive approach to medical waste removal.
