The choice of sharps box may be a problem that most hospitals are more entangled in, although the sharps box provided by the manufacturer meets the standard, but the cost of use is too high, and the compliance of clinical and medical technology departments is not high, so there are self-made sharps boxes that meet the actual conditions of each hospital. Can you use a homemade sharps box? Boyue’s answer is: do not use homemade sharps boxes when the use of medical sharps is large!

Medical waste generated by medical and health institutions should be placed in special packaging or closed containers that prevent leakage or penetration by sharps according to categories. Traumatic waste is a discarded medical sharp instrument that can stab or cut the human body, which is very easy to cause occupational exposure and cause injury to medical personnel, even for life. It must be approached with caution.

In addition, each country has relevant regulations for medical waste packaging, which require the material, sealing, non-spilling, puncture resistance, overall color, identification, etc. of the sharp weapon box, each of which is to ensure the safety of medical staff and cannot be changed at will. The sharps box that meets the regulations falls vertically from a height of 1.5m to the concrete floor when it is full, and the sharps box will not be cracked, punctured, etc. for 3 consecutive times, and it is difficult to ensure that the self-made sharps box can fully achieve this.

Finally, homemade sharps boxes may differ in operation from standard sharps boxes made by manufacturers, and transport workers will cause sharps injuries due to incorrect operation. This harm is completely unnecessary and avoidable. The sharps box produced by the manufacturer is supervised by the relevant quality inspection department and meets the national standards, and the self-made sharps box is unprofessional but will make medical staff bear the risk of occupational exposure.

Therefore, it is best not to use homemade sharps boxes, if you are worried that the cost of sharps boxes is too high or compliance is not strong, you can choose sharps boxes produced by Boyue. The sharps box produced by Boyue company has a lower price while ensuring quality, and can also customize related products according to customer needs to meet the diverse needs of customers.
