Benefits of Sharpsmart’s Medical Waste Containers
Gravity Balanced Safety Tray
This innovative tray design safeguards users by limiting direct hand access to the container’s contents. The gravity-activated system ensures sharps are safely ejected away from the user, minimising the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens during disposal.
High-Quality Material
Our containers are engineered using high-quality ABS plastic and rigorously tested to endure up to 500 wash cycles without compromise. This exceptional durability guarantees long-term container integrity, safeguarding contents under heavy use.
Clearview Window
Our containers feature a clear viewing panel for effortless fill-level monitoring. This design enables staff to efficiently track capacity without compromising safety by avoiding direct exposure to the contents. This helps to prevent overfilling and maintain a secure environment.
Wide Opening
Our containers feature a generously sized aperture allowing for effortless, one-handed sharps disposal. This design innovation accelerates waste management while significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries by eliminating the need to force items into the container.
Leak-Proof Seal
Our precision-engineered lid forms a tight seal that prevents the escape of any liquids, including blood and other bodily fluids, during transportation. This no-leak system guarantees secure containment of hazardous materials, safeguarding both staff and the environment from potential contamination.
Tamper-Proof Design
Featuring permanent side locks, our containers guarantee complete protection against unauthorised access to disposed sharps. This inviolable design ensures once the container is full, its contents remain inaccessible, providing an unparalleled level of security and safety.
Changing the world one sharp at a time
Peer reviewed in some of the world’s leading medical journals, the Sharpsmart system has proven greater reduction in sharps injuries than any other sharps containment system in the world.
With over 5 years of research invested into its design and engineering, the Sharpsmart collector is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure that all safety mechanisms are functional on each and every collector. Fitted with an engineered maximum sensitivity safety tray, users are protected in hands-free disposal of sharps and needles. The Sharpsmart is more than just a sharps container, it is an engineered safety device proven to dramatically reduce needlestick injury rates, minimise infection transfer, and substantially improve the risk profile of all organisations that generate and handle healthcare waste.
Why Reusable Sharps containers are better for the environment
As healthcare facilities across the United Kingdom 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 recyclable containers.

Sharpsmart has reconsidered safety and security in the patient setting.
For sharps disposal, clinical offensive and infectious waste, cytotoxic and pharmaceuticals management, more is required to protect the safety of healthcare staff and patients.
