Sharps Disposal
The smarter, reusable sharps container to safely manage disposal
Clinically proven to reduce needlestick injuries by up to 87%, the Daniels’ Sharpsmart is much more than just the world’s safest sharps container. Our innovative range of reusable containers improves infection control and sustainability efforts, leading more healthcare facilities to choose Daniels to protect their staff and patients in the handling of sharps waste every day.
When we talk about sharps disposal, we’re on our A-Game!
The Sharpsmart is the total package and versatile to fit your needs. Our reusable sharps container can be wall-mounted or static and is proven to improve the efficiency of your disposal program. After all, this is where we started; with a vision that a safer sharps container could deliver significant reductions in healthcare worker exposure to needlestick injuries. That was 35 years ago! And we’re still as passionate now about this issue as we were back then. Today the Daniels Sharpsmart container is globally recognised as the safest sharps container in the world, boasting the greatest reduction of needlestick injuries ever recorded in modern literature. Backed by multiple peer review studies, and countless case studies from our healthcare partners, the Sharpsmart is quite simply the only sharps container in the world designed with adequate safety features to protect healthcare workers from container-associated sharps injuries.
Sharps waste management is not just about a container, it’s about a total solution
While we have the best sharps container in the world… we didn’t stop there. Supporting Daniels sharps containers is a robotic washing system that processes every container after use and achieves a 106 log reduction in bacterial load, together with a suite of mounting, movement and location accessories that ensure containers can be seamlessly moved without risk to healthcare staff, and utilised at the point of patient care thereby minimising risk in sharps disposal. Daniels Health is licensed to handle the collection, transport and destruction of sharps across Canada, and our operational staff are supported by a compliance team who manage all state and federal regulations that pertain to the management of sharps medical waste. As a company, Daniels Health are positioned and committed to providing the safest, most environmentally responsible, and most efficient sharps management solutions in North America.
Sharpsmart. World Leading Sharps Safety Technology
Peer reviewed in four independent studies, clinically proven to reduce Sharps Injuries by up to 87%, and relied on by healthcare facilities around the world, the Sharpsmart system is driven by a single objective – To Save Lives. Designed with 13 safety features, manufactured with needle-impenetrable plastic, a gravity balanced safety tray for risk-free sharps disposal, and a built-in overfill protection mechanism, the Daniels Sharpsmart is the most advanced sharps container system in the world.
Does your sharps container pass the candy test?
If a piece of candy fell into an open sharps container… Could a child’s hand reach in to get it?
A sharps container with a no-hands access safety tray is CRUCIAL, especially when situated in a patient environment. Daniels patented Sharpsmart tray achieves 100% hand-access restriction, even for tiny inquisitive hands!
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.
Medical Waste Management has a clinical impact
At Daniels, we work on the clinical impact of biomedical waste management, not what happens on the outside loading dock!
Daniels’ range of containment systems for sharps, biomedical waste, cytotoxic and pharmaceuticals, lead in the industry in their safety, security, and volume control features. Working with clinicians in the design process, Daniels Health assessed the clinical requirements of healthcare settings and designed a range of healthcare waste containers that would improve efficiencies, infection control and protection from needlesticks and infectious waste. Our focus is on what happens inside the four walls of a healthcare facility – how waste is segregated and waste volumes are minimised, how our products and processes impact the environment, how we mount or move containers for the protection of staff. At Daniels we are proud to think differently.
The Journey of a Daniels Sharpsmart collector
Ever wondered what happens to a sharps container when it leaves a hospital?
This is just the start of its life cycle… Let us take you on a journey of what happens to a Daniels Sharpsmart container from the moment we drop it off at your hospital dock right through to its robotic emptying and washing process. It’s a fascinating adventure our little yellow containers have – where they’re mounted, how they’re moved, and who interacts with them daily.
