Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Sharpsafe® and Clinisafe®?
Sharpsafe® is specifically designed for the disposal of "sharps" like needles and scalpels, featuring extreme puncture resistance. Clinisafe® is typically used for broader clinical waste, including soft waste contaminated with blood or chemicals.
2. Are Hospidex Sharpsafe® containers autoclavable?
Yes, most Sharpsafe® containers are manufactured from materials that can withstand sterilization in an autoclave at 121°C, allowing for safe processing before final disposal.
3. Why are there different lid colors on Hospidex containers?
Lid colors follow international waste segregation standards. For example, yellow lids often signify infectious waste intended for incineration, while orange may indicate sharps not contaminated with medicines.
4. Can I get mounting accessories for my sharps containers?
Yes, Hospidex provides a range of brackets and stands (such as the 9.0/13.0L stand) that secure the containers to walls, trolleys, or benches to prevent spills and ensure easy, one-handed operation.
