Surgical Supplies

Many people avoid going to the doctor to get a shot of medicine due to a fear of needles. Unlike the needles of the early 1900's which  were blunt, non sterile, and thick, modern technology changed administering antibiotics and injections forever by developing needles that minimize pain and trauma.

 A sharps container is filled with used medical needles and any other sharp medical instruments such as IV catheters and surgical blades.  This industry changing device was developed in 1979 by a UK company named Frontier Plastic Ltd.  There was a need for a safe way to dispose of clinical sharps and thus, the first sharps container was marketed in 1980. Everyone is at risk without the proper disposal of sharps items including janitors, caregivers, children, and even pets. Used needles are dangerous because they can injure people, spread germs, and spread deadly diseases.
