SHARP SAFE makes used-needle disposal safer at the point of use. It destroys contaminated needles immediately, reducing needlestick injuries, infection risks, and unsafe sharps handling.
Outcome Metrics
- Reduction in needlestick injuries among healthcare and waste-handling staff
- Reduction in direct handling of used and contaminated needles
- Reduction in cross-infection and blood-borne disease transmission risks
- Improvement in safe disposal of needles at the point of use
- Reduction in environmental hazards associated with improper sharps disposal
- Improvement in compliance with hospital needle-disposal protocols
- Device destruction efficiency, processing time, safety, reliability, and user satisfaction rates
