Clinical sharps containers in Ireland are essential for the safe disposal of medical sharps used in healthcare settings.
They are used for needles, syringes, lancets, scalpels, and other sharp instruments that may pose an infection risk.

These containers are rigid, leak-proof, and puncture-resistant to protect healthcare workers and the public.
They come in various sizes and colour codes to match specific waste types, such as infectious or cytotoxic sharps.

Sharps containers should never be overfilled and must be securely sealed and labelled before disposal.
Proper use of sharps containers is critical for preventing injuries, ensuring hygiene, and meeting HSE waste regulations.
