When we first set out to create a ‘safe’ sharps disposal container, little did we know the journey we were about to embark upon. What we would learn over ten years of clinical trials and research, extensive design R&D, microbiological testing, and movement mapping, was that the solution to safety and risk prevention in sharps disposal was not solely “a container”--it was so much bigger than that.

Sharpsmart Robotic Washline Technology

Sharpsmart's reusable sharps containers are emptied and sanitised at our clean processing facilities using the industry-leading Washsmart system, a fully automated, robotic system used for decanting, washing, sanitising and drying the containers. Our Washsmart system provides highly effective washing and sanitising of all Sharpsmart containers. 

The Sharpsmart Difference

Clinical Waste Management cost efficiencies are derived from the successful deployment of five key elements.

At Sharpsmart we work closely with our customers to ensure that all healthcare staff are protected, trained and equipped to safely handle healtthcare waste. We ensure the facilities’ risk profile is managed, and that costs associated with the handling of sharps, offensive and infectious waste are minimised.

Here’s why.

Sharpsmart has always chosen a path of improvement over convention. Our uniquely designed and engineered clinical waste products and systems have benchmarked safer healthcare standards globally, and our definition of quality and value has always been judged against the yardstick of the lives we can save.

Our Story 

The story of Sharpsmart UK is not your typical narrative of a company starting out to make something quicker, easier or more economical; it started with a very earnest quest by an entrepreneurial engineer to reduce incidents of sharps injuries from clinical waste handling in healthcare.
