Introducing an FDA approved, safe, cost-effective solution to help reduce accidental needle sticks in the Health & Beauty Industry. In approximately three seconds, the Sharps Terminator® destroys hypodermic needles. Eliminating the sharp at the point of procedure will significantly help reduce exposure to deadly blood borne pathogens caused by needle sticks to the many workers down the line in the hypodermic needle disposal process.
There is no substitution for caution when handling needles. Stop needle stick injuries at the point of procedure to help reduce exposure to the dangerous hazards of needle disposal.
We don't realize that even simple procedures in places like a MedSpa that offer medical grade aesthetic procedures in a relaxing environment for services like Botox, Dysport, and other Medical Spa Injectables have the same risk.
Several thousand needle stick injuries are reported each year in the US in the practice of health care or medicine, many more going unreported and many involving possible exposure to contamination or a major life threatening diseases.
With the cost of testing and treatment now averaging in excess of $1,000 per incident, accidental needle sticks promise to be an unwanted drain on the practice of medicine (all types). Even more troubling, these figures do not take into account the cost of litigation, OSHA violations, or the burden of long-term care-which can be as high as $600,000 for a serious infection.
