The term sharps refers to any sharp instrument orobject used in the delivery of health care services–including hypodermicneedles, suture needles,meizitangmercadolibre, scalpel blades, sharp instruments, IV catheters, andrazor blades. In health care settings, injuries from needles or other sharpinstruments are the number-one cause of occupational exposure to blood borneinfections. All staffthat come in contact with sharps–from doctors and nurses to those involved inSharps Disposal–are at risk of infections. Many injuries can occur when staff uses sharps. The mostcommon ways in which staff gets injured are: · Re-capping hypodermic needles after use. This isone of the major causes of sharp-object injuries. · When manipulating used sharps (such as bending,breaking, or cutting hypodermic needles), which can cause the blood inside tosplatter or cause staff to accidentally injure them.· When one staff member accidentally sticksanother staff member when carrying unprotected sharps.· When sharp items are found in areas where theyare unexpected, such as on surgical drapes or bed linen. · When handling or disposing of waste thatcontains used hypodermic needles or other sharps.· When sudden movement by the client at the timeof injection causes a provider to be accidentally stuck Improper disposal of contaminated sharp objects can causeinfections in your health care facility and community. Any delay in SharpsDisposal will increase the occurrence of accidents. To dispose of sharpscorrectly: · Do not recap, bend,meizitangmercadolibre, or break needles beforedisposal, and do not remove the needle from the syringe by hand. · Dispose of needles and syringes immediatelyafter use in a puncture-resistant sharps-disposal container. · Incinerate sharps-disposal containers in anindustrial incinerator whenever the containers become three-quarters full. · To discourage scavenging of discarded sharps,decontaminate needles and syringes that cannot be incinerated and render themharmless before burying them. A Sharps Disposalcontainer is a puncture-resistant container used for the disposalof used needles and other sharps. A sharps container may be made out of a heavycardboard box, an empty plastic jug, or a metal container. Here are certain important points that one should bear inmind regarding Sharps Disposal· Although burning is the best ways to dispose offmedical waste, sharps are not destroyed by burning, except in large industrialincinerators.· If an industrial incinerator is not available,sharps can be rendered harmless by placing needles, plastic syringes,and scalpels in a metal container and then,meizitangmercadolibre, when the container isthree-quarters full, pouring in fuel and igniting and burning it until the firegoes out on its own. When this is done, the plastic syringes will melt and,when cool, become a solid block of plastic, with the sharps embedded within theblock. The block can then be buried in the type of burial pit used for solidmedical waste. If it is not possible to bury all medical waste on site, sharpsshould be given priority for burial, since they pose the biggest risk of injuryand infections.· Always wash your hands after handling sharpscontainers.
