Safe and sustainable recycled sharps containers.
Worldwide needlestick injuries are among the most common occupational hazards for healthcare workers.
The WHO states that 2 million occupational exposures to shar0s injuries annually1, and at least 20 different pathogens are transmitted by a needlestick injury.2
Our Sharpsafe® containers are specifically designed with the aim of preventing sharps injuries, and reducing the impact on the environment.
Sharpsafe® Features and Benefits

Provides added reassurance when the container is in use and helps to prevent sharps injuries by restricting access.
2. Clearly Visible Fill Line & Semi Translucent Lid
Easy to see and helps prevent overfilling, protecting healthcare workers and patients from potential needlestick injury.
3. Low Carbon Polypropylene
Prevents sharps penetration through the wall of the container protecting healthcare workers and patients from potential needlestick injury.
4. Four Click Assembly
An audible click confirms the lid and base are assembled correctly, indicating it is safe to use.
5. In-mould Label
In-mould label is moulded to the wall of the container, they cannot be removed and offer a permanent audit trail.
6. Final Closure
Permanently closes the container so no further waste can be added, preventing overfilling and potential spillages.
