Sharps Containers for Public Restrooms

Sharps Containers for Public Restrooms

Each year, three billion needles and other sharps are disposed outside of the hospital and other healthcare settings, including those used by individuals with illnesses such as HIV or hepatitis. These discarded sharps expose the general population to the risk of disease transmission through needle stick injuries.

The Sharps Secure® Collection System is a containment and disposal method designed specifically for public restrooms. It provides self-injecting employees and customers a way to properly dispose of their sharps while away from home. The system is currently used in malls, restaurants, office buildings and industrial facilities.

The Sharps Secure Collection System features a sturdy, lockable collection cabinet that allows entry by authorized personnel only. When the sharps container inside the cabinet is full, it is placed in a USPS approved Sharps Disposal By Mail Systems® shipping box for transport and safe disposal.

Scalpel Blade Remover

Removal of scalpel blades by hand is a practice that increases exposure to bloodborne and contact pathogens and can often lead to percutaneous injury. There are safer methods of removing a scalpel blade from its holder that will prevent these sharps injuries from occurring.

Safety Waste Disposal

Safety Waste Disposal

Historically, the procedures for emptying a blood-filled control syringe in a cardiology catheter lab meant purging it into a bowl or basin on the table. This often resulted in the splashing of blood on work surfaces, floors, and often co-workers. OSHA has demanded that unnecessary exposure to bloodborne pathogens be removed from the work site. Safer alternatives to this open basis squirt are available to collect bodily fluids. These safety products minimize exposure by preventing the splash-back of blood and other body fluids.

Safety Vascular Access Needles

Safety Vascular Access Needles

Safety Vascular Access Needles

Safety vascular access needles are designed to obtain access to the vasculature of the patient for a variety of procedures including cardiology and radiology, without compromising the safety of the clinician. The needle is used for initial access to the vasculature. Following the needle insertion into the patient’s vasculature, a guidewire is inserted through the needle. The needle is removed from off the guidewire. During this process the needle is protected thus preventing a needlestick to the clinician.

Cardiologists and Radiologists have traditionally been fairly resistant to using safety needles. SecureLoc is a very good replacement for standard introducer needles because it looks and feels just like a conventional product. This is very important to clinicians.

One of the major complaints that Cardiologists and Radiologists have with existing safety introducer needles is that they don’t feel like ‘real introducer needles.’

This concern about the tactile response of the introducer needle has kept many clinicians using conventional introducer needles, despite the risk of injury. With the SecureLoc Safety Introducer Needle, Cardiologists and Radiologists can use a safety product that is like the needles they are used to, without compromising their own safety or that of their colleagues.

The SecureLoc Safety Introducer Needle is 7 cm (2¾ inches) long and is offered in18 gauge, 19 gauge, and 21 gauge sizes. The ergonomic hub design is crystal clear for easy flashback visualization. The needle has a proprietary coating for optimum insertion control. It has an unobstructed pass-through, which allows for easy threading of the guidewire. One of the unique features of this safety introducer needle is that the safety feature automatically senses the needle tip and locks out to encapsulate the needle – even over a guidewire! The size of the needle allows the product to be used not only in Interventional Radiology, Interventional Cardiology and general vascular access, but in a variety of categories that do not currently have a safety solution.

SecureLoc™ Safety Introducer Needle

The SecureLoc™ Safety Introducer Needle is safe and simple to use. It looks and acts just like a standard introducer needle. However, at the hub there is a small “safety capsule.”

This integral safety capsule automatically senses the end of the needle and instantly locks out to fully encapsulate the needle tip. This safety feature eliminates the risk of getting stuck with an introducer needle.

The product is easy to use. The needle is inserted into the vascular just like a conventional needle. The needle is pulled out of the blood vessel with the dominant hand, while the non-dominant hand holds onto the safety capsule. The safety device is activated while the needle is being pulled out of the patient. The safety feature automatically detects the end of the needle and locks permanently into place.

One clinician said “The SecureLoc Safety Introducer Needle is designed for percutaneous entry and is easy to use, smooth, and intuitive. After accessing a vessel and inserting the guidewire, the safety guard may be activated before removing the needle off the guidewire for enhanced safety. SecureLoc introducer needles are designed for percutaneous access for all appropriate patient populations. The integral safety guard is not bulky or obtrusive and does not interfere with access during a vascular procedure. SecureLoc is safe, simple and effective.”

Safety Transfer Trays

Safety Tranfer Trays

The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard states that facilities should use proper work practices to help eliminate needlesticks and other sharps injuries. A “No-hands” procedure or “neutral zone” helps to eliminate hand-to-hand instrument passing in the operating room. One method of accomplishing this neutral zone is through the use of safety transfer trays. A clinician will place a sharps instrument into the tray and the tray is passed or placed into a neutral zone rather than the sharps instrument being passed.

Sharps Passing Tray

A lightweight, unique, purpose designed, single-use device that provides a secure ‘hands free’ transfer medium for passing sharp instruments, thus reducing the risk of third party inflicted sharps injuries

  • Central cavity design ensures all sharp instruments are safely shielded during the transfer from person to person

  • Versatile cavity accepts scalpels, needle holders, syringes and all sharp instruments (e.g. scissors, trocars etc)

  • Retrieval groove is sited centrally to ensure that all instruments are picked up safely, away from the sharp aspect

  • Two trays may be joined to allow safe, ‘hands free’ transfer of multiple instruments

  • International bio-hazardous waste colour identification

Safety Syringe

Safety Syringes provide for the safety of healthcare workers, custodial staff, and waste management personnel. Following an injection a sheath is placed over the needle or the needle retracts into the barrel protecting healthcare workers and others from accidental needlestick injuries.

SAFER® SYRINGE 

The Safer® Passive Safety Syringe with Retractable Needle has several safety features that ensure accurate dosing of the drug, allow the needle to automatically retract at the end of the injection, avoid contact between the operator and the patient, and prevent the reuse of the device.

Devices like the Safer® Passive Safety Syringe with Retractable Needle will eliminate the risk of re-use and, therefore, the possibility of cross-contamination between users. In addition, they will remove the NSI risk to healthcare workers, eradicate the problem of scavenging and resale, and dispel the risk of poor waste management.

Scissors or scalpels have traditionally been used to cut sutures prior to removal. Safety Suture Removers reduce likelihood of sharps injuriese

Traditional suture removal has required the use of scissors/scalpels and forceps to cut and remove sutures. Newer products can slice through “cat-gut” without cutting clinicians, custodial staff or waste management workers.
