Needle-free IV Bag Spike

Safety Product Category

Needle-free IV Bag Spike

Many IV sets have a spike on one end and an injection site on the other. The injection site is used to transfer medications directly into the IV bag. The use of a needle creates an unnecessary sharps exposure for healthcare workers and also provides an unnecessary risk to toxic medications. Needle-free systems are available that eliminate these risks.

The Vial2Bag needleless system enables safe reconstitution and transfer of a drug between a vial or syringe and any solution-filled IV bag. The needle-free system connects to standard IV bags through the IV set port so it can be used with all manufacturers’ bags.

The drug vial connects to the Vial2Bag system with a standard vial adapter. The diluent is transferred from the IV bag to the vial for drug reconstitution. The reconstituted drug is then transferred from the vial back to the bag. The system helps provide transfer of the full dose to the IV bag for administration. Standard syringes can also be connected to the Vial2Bag system.

Needle Disintegration Products

Safety Product Category

Needle Disintegration Products

Needle disintegration products incinerate the needle immediately after an injection has been administered. By incinerating the sharp at very high temperatures, any liquid or residue inside of the needle is evaporated which removes infectious threats.

Needle Destruction Products

Safety Product Category

Needle Destruction Products

Needle destruction products destroy the needle immediately following its use. Needle destruction products are an absolute necessity in developing parts of the world to prevent the reuse of needles and the spread of bloodborne pathogens. They are NOT a good alternative, however, for hospital use in the developed parts of the world. Needle destruction products are products that bend, cut, or destroy the needle. This are distinctly different from needle disintegration products that send an arc of electricity to vaporize and melt the needle. This type of product is shown in another product category.

Mixing and Transfer Systems

Safety Product Category

Mixing and Transfer Systems

The “old” method of reconstituting a lyophilized drug involved sticking needles into solution, aspirating , inserting into lyophilized drug. There are many opportunities to receive a “clean” needlestick injury. Newer systems are available for the safe, rapid and easy preparation of lyophilized drugs.

The Mixject System

The MixJect™ system enables the safe, rapid and easy preparation of lyophilized drugs. MixJect is a single unit for reconstituting a powder drug with a diluent prefilled syringe.

Mail-back Prescription Drug Systems

Mail-back Prescription Drug Systems

Each year health facilities are dumping at least 250 million pounds of drugs into America’s drinking water annually, and the EPA found trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in 80% of the rivers, lakes and streams they tested. So what are your patients doing with their unwanted and unused meds? What are you and your patients doing with unused medications? There are new products to assist in destroying them properly.

What do you do with left-over prescription drugs? If you leave them in the medicine cabinet, you might be opening the door to diversion–the use of prescription drugs for recreational purposes. Even though you’re not currently using the drugs, that does not mean someone else isn’t. Seventy five percent of people who abuse drugs say they obtained them from friends or relatives (according to the National Safety Council).

Drug abuse isn’t the only risk associated with unused medications. Last year the second leading killer (behind automobile accidents) of 35-54 year old adults in the U.S. was accidental overdose according to the CDC. Unused medications are dangerous for everyone.

And those medications aren’t just a problem for humans. Not only does flushing unused meds down the drain or throwing them in the garbage pollute drinking water, pharmaceuticals are linked to bizarre mutations in fish, frogs and water fowl. The Associated Press recently reported the EPA found trace pharmaceuticals – including antidepressants, birth control and narcotics – in over 80% of the water samples they tested, affecting at least 46 million Americans.

So what can you do to help prevent prescription and over-the-counter drug misuse while protecting our water supply and curbing damage to the environment? Use RxTakeAway™ for your non-controlled medications. It’s the safe, eco-friendly way to protect your family, community AND environment.

In the home

  • One in 5 teens report abusing Over-The-Counter (OTC) and prescription drugs. Their source is primarily friends and relatives’ medicine cabinets.
  • These meds result in young people ages 12-17 abusing prescription drugs more than cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine combined.

In the environment

  • Unused meds are often dumped into the garbage or ushed into the waste stream, poisoning the environment.
  • According to the EPA, pharmaceuticals in the water system are linked to mutations in fish, amphibians and water fowl. The Sharps’ RxTakeAway™ System is the quick, easy solution to proper disposal of unwanted or unused medication, excluding controlled substances.
