Safe, Simple Metal Recycling Solutions

Addressing the problem of high sharps injuries in Theatre Sharpsmart’s clinically designed containers for the safe collection of single-use instruments are industry-leading

Metal Recycling Solutions

Safe and Sustainable.
Our new green solution for diversion of single-use devices

As an industry leader in healthcare safety, Sharpsmart’s metal recycling solutions are a proud reflection of our underscoring values. In the United Kingdom today, the highest percentage of sharps injuries occur in the OR and the highest volume of incinerating waste comes out of hospital operating theatres. As a green focused company, we are passionate about changing this!


Sharpsmart are specialists in sharps and surgical device management

With specialisation in sharps containment and total healthcare waste management, Sharpsmart provides compliance and industry expertise in a simple and seamless service model. Designed for the collection of guidewires and single-use metal instruments such as scissors, forceps, dialators and speculums, scalpels and curettes, our metal waste recycling offering is specifically designed to reduce footprint and optimise segregation in an OR, orthoepedic or endoscopy environment whilst upholding the highest levels of safety. Current practice in the UK today sees many non sharp single-use metal instruments being deposited into non-metal waste streams that require incineration. With incineration being the most expensive method of treatment, there is not only a significant environmental impact but also a substantial cost impact to diverting waste from a high temperature incineration waste stream.

Metal instruments (50%) and sharps waste (20%) contribute to around 70% of all incinerating waste in hospital operating theatres.

What can be diverted into the MR64?

  • GUIDEWIRES

  • SINGLE USE METAL INSTRUMENTS

  • SINGLE USE MEDICAL DEVICES

MR64 | A new frontier in surgical device deposition

Significantly enhancing perioperative safety in surgical device disposal

This new containment initiative for greening the operating threatre achieves a significant increase in OR waste segregation, minimised footprint, and reduced waste spend – the MR64 Clinismart presents the latest innovation in metal recycling. Designed with a full access opening for the disposal of large and bulky surgical instruments, and fitted with secure safety locks and foot pedal capability for hands-free access, the MR64 ensures safety is paramount in the deposition of metal instruments in the OR.

A new frontier in safe and cost effective metal device collection

  • IMMEDIATE COST REDUCTION

    Increase the yield of surgical devices collected by up to 70%, delivering greater buy-back opportunity for reprocessed devices

  • POINT OF USE DISPOSAL

    Save time and labour by disposing and segregating waste at point of generation. Mobile, hands-free and secure containment.

  • WIDE OPENING

    MR64 collectors feature a wide opening with tall, vertical design for the safe deposition of long or bulky single-use metal instruments

  • MINIMISE INFECTION TRANSFER

    Collectors are cleaned through a 6-stage robotic washing process after each use to ensure full decontamination and sanitisation.

  • REUSABLE AND ECO FRIENDLY

    The reusability and the diversion of waste from high temperature incineration delivers a super green result!!

  • SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

    Sharpsmart collectors are designed with inbuilt secure locking systems and are standards approved, leak-proof and penetration resistant.

Putting the environment first.

Sharpsmart reusable solutions are time-tested to deliver environmental impact reduction results across the entire spectrum of healthcare waste containment, collection, washing and treatment.
All Sharpsmart products and services are scrutinised through microbiological testing, peer reviewed studies and client before-and-after case studies; our solutions are test-proven time and time again to deliver results across the critical spectrum of sharps injuries, infection risk prevention, CO2 emission reductions, labour efficiencies, and waste volume minimisation.
