The Importance of Proper Sharps Disposal
Sharps, such as needles, syringes, lancets, and scalpels, are commonly used in healthcare settings and by individuals managing medical conditions at home. Improper disposal of sharps can lead to serious health hazards, including injuries, infections, and the spread of blood-borne diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B and C.

Proper Handling and Disposal of Sharps
To assist our clients in practicing safe sharps disposal, Phoenix Medical Services provides comprehensive guidelines for the proper handling and disposal of sharps. Here are some key tips:
1. Use Suitable Sharps Containers
It is essential to use leak-proof, puncture-resistant sharps containers to store used needles, syringes, and other sharps. Make sure the container is marked clearly to indicate its contents and comply with local regulations.
2. Never Recap or Break Needles
Recapping or breaking needles is extremely dangerous and increases the risk of accidental injuries. Always dispose of needles as a whole, without attempting to recap or break them.
3. Do Not Dispose of Sharps in Regular Trash
Sharps should never be thrown in household trash or recycling bins. Improper disposal of sharps poses risks to waste management personnel, janitors, and the general public. Always use designated sharps containers for disposal.
4. Keep Sharps Containers Out of Reach
If you have sharps waste at home, ensure that the sharps containers are stored securely and out of reach of children and pets. This prevents accidental needlestick injuries and exposure to potential infections.
