Cytotoxic Sharps Disposal
Reliable cytotoxic sharps containers and simple service solutions for Cytotoxic Sharps Disposal and Management
With the first reusable cytotoxic sharps container in Canada, and clinically engineered solutions that minimize cross-contamination, more hospitals and oncology centres are looking to Daniels for the containment, disposal and treatment of sharps waste originating from chemotherapy treatment.
Minimize Costs and Environmental Impact of cytotoxic sharps disposal
Daniels offers the most secure cytotoxic sharps solutions in Canada. Daniels’ safety-engineered containers are dedicated to the collection of cytotoxic sharps waste and are designed to protect staff and patients from cross-contamination and content retrieval. Our reusable Chemosmart container was the first containment system in Canada to eliminate the need for plastic bags, liners and secondary-packaging for sharps waste generated during chemotherapy treatment. This efficiency, and the elimination of disposable containers for sharps, dramatically reduces overall cost, landfill burden and environmental impact.
Safety continues outside of your facility
With over 35+ years experience in the industry, Daniels has the healthcare waste solutions, licensing, and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of all healthcare facilities in the management of cytotoxic waste – no matter what the size. Daniels’ products have been clinically designed to help make healthcare safer for the user. Daniels reusable containers are emptied and sanitized at Daniels’ clean processing facilities by a robotic system used for decanting, washing, sanitizing and drying the containers. All Daniels solutions are designed to minimize infection transfer risk, ensure user safety, and maximize handling and movement efficiencies.
Disposal of cytotoxic waste in hospitals
The reduction of risk is crucial to the efficacy of any hospital system’s cytotoxic waste disposal plan. Daniels Health partners with hospitals across Canada to provide safe and compliant disposal of cytotoxic waste. We offer an innovative solution for chemotherapy-contaminated sharps in the form of bagless, hands-free cytotoxic waste containers as well as traditional solutions for other cytotoxic waste.
Chemosmart, the reusable Chemotherapy container
Stop paying for disposable containers going to landfill
Currently the only reusable container approved for cytotoxic sharps waste, the Daniels Chemosmart eliminates single-use container purchasing, assembly, bagging and boxing, cost of landfill and associated risks. With hands-free operation and inbuilt safety and anti-tampering features, Daniels Chemosmart series of containers have set a new benchmark of safety, sustainability and security in an oncology setting.
Infection Prevention and Waste | A new paradigm
Rethinking how biomedical waste impacts the clinical environment
We talk about hand-hygiene. We talk about “touches” and the spread of infection. What we don’t talk about is the impact on infection control caused by waste in a patient environment. Bins being wheeled from ICU through to a loading dock, static containers that never undergo high-pressure wash or sanitization, open-lidded bins in patient wards. At Daniels, we are rethinking what clinical means when it comes to sharps disposal, pharmaceutical waste security, and biomedical waste management
Why Reusable Sharps containers are better for the environment
As healthcare facilities across Canada increasingly focus on reducing the environmental impact of their waste streams (and as environmental impact regulations increase), it is vital to understand the difference between disposing of sharps, cytotoxic and pharmaceutical waste in ‘reusable’ containers, and disposing of them in ‘disposable’ or ‘recyclable’ containers.

Daniels impact on efficiency…
Switching to Medismart saved our organization nearly $13,000. We also reduced the non-productive time that my staff had been spending switching over disposable sharps containers, and the number of trips for one of my staff members to pick up biomedical containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.
