Safe and Secure Solutions for Anatomical Waste
Sharpsmart’s anatomical waste solutions dramatically reduce waste handling and disposal volumes, resulting in increased staff safety, improved compliance and reduced costs.
Clinical Waste Management has a clinical impact
At Sharpsmart, we work on the clinical impact of healthcare waste management, not what happens on the outside loading dock!
Sharpsmart’ range of containment systems for sharps, offensive and infectious waste, cytotoxic and pharmaceuticals, lead in the industry in their safety, security, and volume control features. Working with clinicians in the design process, Sharpsmart 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 Sharpsmart we are proud to think differently.
Contamination-free Clinical Waste Containers
Sharpsmart’s clean container movement is changing the industry’s perception of how clinical waste should be disposed and transported.
In typical healthcare settings, reusable containers are lined with a bag and decanted once the bag is full. This practice leads to bins in patient environments not been cleaned, harbouring pathogens and accelerating risk of cross-contamination. At Sharpsmart, all of our sharps, clinical waste, cytotoxic and pharmaceutical containers are hands-free, and furthermore undergo a rigorous 6-stage robotic washing decontamination and sanitisation process after each use. We are proud to be “moving the goalposts” of what safety in clinical waste containers should look like, our results across needlestick injury reduction, segregation, cost reduction and landfill diversion prove that we’re on the right path!
Is the “Sharpsmart Difference” just a clever marketing phrase?
“Different” is often subjective – a different perspective, a different approach, a different focus, vision or personal preference. For us at Sharpsmart, DIFFERENCE embodies all these things, but it also delivers a very different result. Reduction in needlestick injuries, reduction in waste volumes, reduction in costs, reduction in labour, increase in efficiencies, compliance, trust. We don’t promise a different methodology, we promise transformation of your current practices.
Sharpsmart Education Services
Partnering to improve safety, segregation and cost optimisation
Sharpsmart employs a blended learning approach to education that accommodates multiple learning styles. Versatile and intuitive, our education platforms serve not only to impart knowledge, but also to inspire conscious and actionable disciplines in day-to-day practices. Through education posters, one-on-one training, e-learning modules and group education, we impart our expertise in healthcare waste management to help you reduce your costs and minimise environmental impact.
What is ‘Working within the four walls’?
“We don’t stand on the sidelines”
Working within the four walls means, we are physically operating within the four walls of your facility; we are identifying safety inhibitors, streamlining processes, facilitating effective dock storage, helping your team segregate better and optimise your waste volumes and costs, training hospital staff, ensuring product and placement are achieving maximum efficiency, partnering to achieve operational success. We don’t stand on the sidelines, when we’re invested, we are 100% committed to you achieving success.
“We’ve seen a 20% waste reduction…”
The introduction of the Bag to Bedside system has not only created a cleaner ward environment and more pleasurable patient experience, it has ensured that we have made significant reductions in both waste treatment costs and clinical waste output. Initial estimates following rollout show that we have diverted close to 50% of orange bag waste to the offensive and domestic waste streams, which has resulted in a 20% reduction in our costs for these waste streams.

“Reduces our footprint…”
The reason why we chose to use the Sharpsmart sharps container was due to the sustainability issues of being able to recycle the actual sharps bin rather than incinerating them and causing more issues with carbon footprint.

“We can count on Sharpsmart…”
Implementation, staff education and after sales service is of high quality. We can count on experienced staff to address any situation we encounter.

“Service is First Class…”
NCUH has been working with Sharpsmart for a number of years and have found the service to be first class.

“Vacsmart. Reduces waste…”
We use the Vacsmart system on multiple wards for both clinical and general waste and have found it to be extremely effective in helping to reduce waste volumes across both areas. As well as being environmentally-friendly, the system also helps to reduce waste movements and “portering” time – both of which are invaluable benefits for any healthcare facility.
