Sharps Disposal Made Easy - Isolyser®/SMS®

The safest and easiest way for your in-office sharps disposal

Sharps Disposal made easy. Everything you need to collect, treat and dispose of sharps waste is included, with no hidden fees and no contracts to sign. Simply fill your Isolyser/SMS container with sharps (needles, blades, endo files, empty carpules and any other potential sharps). When it’s full, add the ‘catalyst’ packs to the container, causing the liquid to heat and convert into solid plastic polymer. This treats and encapsulates the sharps; rendering them, non-biohazardous, unrecognizable, unusable, and safe for disposal in the regular trash. It’s that easy!

How Isolyser®/SMS® Sharps Disposal Works

The Isolyser®/SMS® system allows healthcare facilities to treat sharps waste on-site. Staff place sharps into the FDA cleared container filled with monomer solution, when full catalyst packs are added which solidifies and disinfects the contents. Once treated, the material can be disposed of in the regular trash according to local regulations; eliminating a biohazard pickup. This process reduces handling risks, storage concerns, and ongoing service scheduling while keeping facilities compliant.

Isolyser/SMS Sharps Disposal Step 1: Fill

Fill

Fill the container with needles, endo files, broken carpules, scalpel blades, etc.

Isolyser/SMS Sharps Disposal Step 2: Activate

Activate

Once full, add proprietary A & B catalyst packets to the patented, odor-free liquid plastic monomer inside each container. Let solidify. After curing, the liquid monomer solidifies into a polymeric matrix. The contents are treated and encapsulated; rendered non-biohazardous, unrecognizable, and unusable.

Isolyser/SMS Sharps Disposal Step 3: Trash

Trash

Following solidification, dispose of containers in your regular trash. Sharps Disposal Made Easy!

Sharps Disposal Container

The FDA cleared sharps container is designed for safe collection and transport of needles, syringes, lancets, and blades. Its puncture-resistant construction helps prevent leaks and accidental exposure during normal use. Clear fill lines and secure closures improve staff safety and support compliance requirements. Using a dedicated container also helps facilities maintain organized waste segregation and avoid regulatory violations.

Disposal of needles, syringes, blades, and other sharps

Hypodermic needles, syringes, scalpels, and lancets present injury risks if improperly discarded. The Isolyser®/SMS® treatment process disinfects and solidifies sharps waste in the FDA cleared container. Eliminates exposure to sharps and bloodborne pathogens making it safe for disposal in the regular trash. Proper disposal procedures also help protect custodial workers and support inspection readiness.

Exceeding the Highest Treatment Efficacy Standard

“The comprehensive efficacy test results, performed in 2011, clearly demonstrated that the Isolyser/SMS Sharps Management System prevented the growth of potential pathogens such that the medical waste, i.e. sharps, no longer posed a danger to human health and the environment, per STAATT guidance, making Isolyser/SMS safe for regular trash disposal, as allowed by state regulations.”

Using Isolyser/SMS for sharps disposal is easy. Place needles, syringes, blades, endo files, broken carpules and other sharps in the Isolyser/SMS container, which is pre-filled with our patented liquid monomer. When full, add the two catalyst packets. This will activate the monomer, generate heat and solidify the sharps into a solid polymeric matrix.  Once solidified, the sharps are treated and encapsulated; rendered non-biohazardous, unrecognizable, unusable, and safe for disposal in the regular trash.

Traditional waste disposal pick-up companies use antiquated systems, including large dedicated trucks that generate a tremendous amount of pollution to collecting sharps waste. Couple that with the pollution associated with treating relatively small amounts of regulated waste and ultimately driving it to a disposal site and its easy to see there are many wasteful and expensive efficiencies in this process. The average sharps container is driven 100 miles BEFORE its treated and then another 50 miles to a disposal site. By comparison Isolyser/SMS is disposed of using transportation vehicles already visiting your office. Isolyser/SMS containers are driven about 50 miles before disposal, about 100 fewer miles per sharps container.
