Sharps containers are hard-walled containers designed for the safe deposit and collection of biologically or chemically contaminated used sharps including needles, lancets, scalpel blades, and cannulae, functioning by providing a puncture-resistant enclosure that minimises injury risk to healthcare workers and patients. These devices are used in clinical, laboratory, or home settings for the safe disposal of medical sharps and are not intended for reuse or sterilisation.
