Sharps
Proper disposal of sharps is a critical component of infection control and safety in dental offices. Sharps containers are specially designed to hold used needles, scalpel blades, anesthetic carpules, broken burs, and other contaminated sharp instruments. These containers protect staff, patients, and waste handlers from accidental punctures, exposure to bloodborne pathogens, and hazardous waste contamination. Also found here are needle recapping aids to secure the needle cap in place, allowing safe one-handed recapping and uncapping during multi-step procedures.
