What Constitutes Clinical Waste
Clinical waste disposal deals with a range of different items, some of which you might be surprised at when you first hear about it. Sharps waste, like needles and syringes, is part of clinical waste, as is pharmaceuticals like expired products and other things. Infectious wastes such as personal protective equipment, dressings, IV tubing and other items that have come into contact with infectious bodily fluids. Liquid medicine waste also falls into this clinical waste categorization.
If you think about it, when you go to see a doctor or nurse or other healthcare professional, the different things that they do and use can add up. If you end up having some tests done, blood drawn, or other things, these all generate clinical waste that needs to be properly disposed of to be sure that no one gets infected by improperly handled items that have been used.
The Importance of Maintaining Compliance
Because of the potentially infectious nature of much of the clinical waste being generated, it is important that medical facilities, research facilities, and many other locations that generate this waste have it handled appropriately. Our team will provide you with a certificate of destruction for your records to prove that you are following established protocols. These regulations and protocols have come from years of learning about the hazards associated with clinical waste and they are designed to keep everyone safe.
Our team offers clinical waste disposal on a frequency that works best for your facility in Cypress, Deer Park, Houston, Pasadena, Webster, or the surrounding areas. You won’t experience any hidden fees and we don’t lock you into a contract, which means we work harder to continue to earn your business. Call Nucore Medical Waste Services today to learn more.
