Medical Waste Disposal Products

Medical sharps waste refers to any biohazardous material that may pierce the skin and be contaminated by body fluids. Common types of waste are needles, syringes, blades, and glass products contaminated by biohazardous substances. The goal of medical waste treatment is to safely handle all biohazardous materials and prevent these wastes from spreading blood-borne pathogens and causing serious public health problems.

The medical waste treatment products we provide are usually divided into disposable and reusable. In order to prevent leakage during transportation and cause environmental pollution, all products are made of puncture-resistant and impact-resistant PP materials. At the same time, they are certified by FDA 510K, TGA, and DOC, and meet international medical and health standards.

FAQs of Medical Waste Disposal Products

How to choose the right medical waste disposal products?

First, consider the type of medical waste. For example, infectious waste may require special bags and containers that are leak-proof and have a high level of microbial resistance. Sharps waste requires dedicated puncture-proof sharps containers.

Second, consider the volume of waste. Larger healthcare facilities may require a larger capacity treatment product or system to handle large volumes of waste continuously.

Finally, don't forget to check for compliance with relevant regulations. Make sure the product meets local, national, and international standards for medical waste treatment.
