Sharps Disposal System Offers Complete Safety From Needles
Over 1.4 billion syringes are used by patients at home and on the go each year. Appropriate disposal can be a problem, with millions of accidental needle pricks being inflicted. Post Medical has developed an innovative sharps disposal system for diabetics, providing a complete disposal solution that eliminates personal injury.

“Post Medical is focused on seamless and safer sharps disposal solutions,” said Matthew Walker, President and COO of Post Medical.
Post Medical has been serving patients and the medical community since 1982. The firm provides innovative and safe solutions for the containment and disposal of sharps for professionals and individuals. Post Medical solutions ensure that diabetics and others who use injectable medications possess a secure means of disposing of syringes and needles.
For the home user, the firm offers the Voyager diabetic needle disposal system, a cutting-edge sharps container that active patients could take along with them anywhere. The Voyager is big enough to accommodate a large number of needles, yet sufficiently small to slide right into a purse, pocket, backpack or briefcase. It offers discreet sharps disposal any time it’s needed.
Previous sharps containers simply clipped the needle, leaving a little part of it still visible. The Voyager sharps container is specially designed to snip a small section of the barrel that holds the needle. There aren't any sharp edges and it prevents any reuse from the syringe barrel. The Voyager system holds 100-120 needles and the container can be placed in regular household trash or disposed of at plastic recycling centers.
The Post Medical sharps container for use at home fits most insulin syringes, along with lancets when testing glucose levels and glucose strips. There’s never any danger of family, friends, children or pets accidentally being pricked by a used needle or syringe. It also provides a safe solution for waste handlers yet others in the chain of disposal. Needles could be disposed of in complete safety, without the threat of accidental needle pricks.
Today’s diabetic patient remains an active participant in a wide array of activities, and the Voyager diabetic needle disposal system by Post Medical enables them to enjoy life to the fullest, without worrying concerning the disposal of their medical supplies or inflicting accidental needle pricks. It’s an ideal home and travel solution that offers complete safety for family, friends, pets and disposal workers.
