People suffering from life-threatening infections need immediate hospitalization. In case of some of the mild infections, home remedies and full body rest may prove beneficial. Hence, in order to avoid further infections especially in a hospital or other health care facilities, sharps containers must be used on a large scale, including homes. Sharps waste is also known as biomedical waste composed of used "sharps". These include devices used to lacerate the skin or puncture. Biohazardous waste must be handled with utmost care and injury free. Blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), and HIV can directly spread through infectious agents. During sharps waste handling, professionals may get affected by these blood-borne diseases. Currently, large volumes of sharps waste is handled by professionals. This also increases the chances of sharps injury.
Previously, sharing needles used in hospitals and other medical labs increased chances of AIDS (HIV) and other infectious disease. Hence, it is quite important to use a sharps container to prevent infections. A sharps container is used for sharp medical instruments such as IV catheters, needles, broken glass, syringes, dental anesthetic carpules, and vacutainer tube holder.
