Sharp instruments, including needles and syringes, are commonly used across the healthcare industry. Proper disposal of these items after use is essential to helping preserve the safety of healthcare workers, patients, and the environment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 385,000 needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries are sustained by hospital-based healthcare personnel annually in the U.S. Check out our recent blog to learn more about the importance of proper sharps disposal.
