“As studies have repeatedly shown, hazardous drugs often migrate past compounding hoods and work surfaces as far as counters, doorknobs, and elevator buttons. The new RxCarbon pads and wipes are a major leap forward in providing a simple, cost-effective method for greatly reducing contamination by these pharmaceuticals that are life-saving when administered appropriately but potentially harmful when present consistently in the work environment. I have personally witnessed the absorption capacity of the pads which is also a benefit in the case of spills or a leaking IV set. I highly recommend them for both hazardous drug compounding areas and hazardous drug administration settings. Using the RxCarbon® wipes routinely during compounding and adding them to all HD spill kits is the next step in reducing routine contamination and protecting employees and patients.” — Charlotte A.

Waste & Compliance Management Inc. (WCM) has been in business since 2003. We manufacture products that make regulated waste compliance, easy and inexpensive. We started with 3 products and have organically grown to about a dozen different products under the WasteWise® brand. We saw the problem of nefarious diversion of narcotic waste and surface contamination by hazardous oncology liquids, and felt that developing a product to solve these problems was a natural extension of our product line. This led to the development of RxCarbon, LLC, an inexpensive and common sense solution to USP <800>, OSHA, EPA and DEA compliance.
