Reusable Sharps Containers:
Rethinking Safety


The Sharpsmart sharps container systems are driven by a single objective - To Save Lives. Thousands of healthcare facilities across the United Kingdom today utilise our range of Sharpsmart containers for infectious sharps, cytotoxic waste and medications as well as partnering with us for full service clinical and sharps waste disposal. 

Studies compared across five countries demonstrate the Sharpsmart's proven ability to reduce sharps injuries by up to 87% in sharps disposal while decreasing infection risk through its hands-free operation. In notable medical journals, the Sharpsmart system has been regarded "the Safest sharps containment system in the world."

Our Clinical Waste Containment systems LEAD THE INDUSTRY in mapping the future of hospital waste management 

  • With robotic sanitisation after use, we eliminate the question of who cleans the bins? 
  • No more dirty bins or soiled bags in patient environments - we're self-confessed clean freaks  
  • We minimise touches of clinical waste, ensuring best-practice hygiene protocols 
  • Containers are designed with an inbuilt overfill mechanism to prevent spillage 
  • Containers are engineered for security, cleanliness and safety. Simple as that. 

 

Following the enigmatic vision of our owner and founder, Dan Daniels,  our philosophy is no more and no less than 'making healthcare safer'. Serving UK Healthcare, we pride ourselves on engineering and innovation - but all of this is for a very defined cause, protecting frontline healthcare workers and extending the importance of their mission in patient care excellence. Our containment systems are supported by a patented robotic washing technology that achieves the highest levels of microbial decontamination in the industry (4 times higher than CDC requirements), and we, collectively, from our drivers to our support staff, compliance teams and leaders, are committed to clinical excellence across every facet of our services.

Sharpsmart Sharps Container Safety Features

Regular

Safety Tray

 

The regular Sharpsmart collector is fitted with an engineered maximum sensitivity safety tray. The safety-tilt mechanism is activated by the weight of the waste in a single swing action, and releases away from the user to ensure safe disposal.

Access Plus

Unrestricted Access

 

Designed for secure areas where unrestricted deposit of sharps is required, the Access Plus collector features a full opening lid without a tray to provide full access to the collector. 

Safety at every step

SAFETY AT EVERY STEP

The Sharpsmart system’s performance has been proven in peer-reviewed, evidence-based studies confirming significant sharps injury reductions and is voted “Best System” by healthcare workers.

SAFE DELIVERY

Sharpsmart collectors arrived pre-assembled at your healthcare facility in bulk transport units; this eliminates staff time needed for assembly of containers, sharps injury risk from incorrectly assembled containers, and eliminates cardboard packaging.

SAFETY WHERE YOU NEED IT

Sharps containers should be placed as close as possible to the point of use. Correct placement of collectors is an important part of the success of the Sharpsmart system. A wide range of accessories and mounting options ensures a Sharpsmart collector is where you need it, when you need it.

PROTECTING STAFF AND PATIENTS

Many healthcare workers suffer sharps injuries from overfilled sharps containers. Sharpsmart collectors eliminate this risk with their unique, gravity balanced safety tray which eliminates hand-access to contents and automatically closes when the fill-level is reached, thus preventing any chance of overfilling.

SAFER WHEN FULL

When full, Sharpsmart collectors are locked by engaging tamper-proof side locks which cannot be re-opened manually and can only be unlocked during Sharpsmart's robotic washing process. This security measure eliminates risk of unauthorised access to contents in storage and transport.

SAFETY ON THE ROAD

Sharpsmart is certified to United Nations PG2 specifications for Transport of Dangerous Goods. No additional packaging is required to transport Sharpsmart collectors on public roads. In transport, our purpose-built transporters ensure collectors are secured, suspended, and free from cross contamination.

SAFER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Sharpsmart collectors eliminate over 28% of plastic and cardboard. All collectors are washed through Sharpsmart’s unique robotic Washsmart which ensures safe and effective sanitisation to an extremely high degree of microbiological efficacy with zero harmful chemicals. To reduce water usage, fresh water from later stages of the robotic process is recycled back for earlier-stage use.

QUALITY ASSURANCE BEFORE DELIVERY

At the completion of the Sharpsmart robotic washing process, a final 2 stage quality check ensures that containers are clean and fully functional. Sharpsmart collectors are made with replaceable parts; any damaged components are removed, sorted, and sent to plastic reprocessing plants to be ground down and recycled.
