Sharps Disposal in Hospitals: LI-YING’s Innovative Program

Sharps disposal is a critical challenge in the medical field. With the exception of common medical hypodermic needles, any medical waste that can cut or pierce the skin falls into this category.

Not only do they form a major portion of medical waste, they are also extremely dangerous due to their highly infectious nature. If a hospital lacks an effective sharps disposal program, it not only threatens the safety of patients and healthcare workers, but may also face legal sanctions and high fines.

LI-YING brings you an unprecedented sharps disposal solution in the latest technological breakthrough. Combining microwave sterilizers and shredders, it aims to create a safer and more compliant working environment for hospitals in a cost-effective way.

Hospital sharps disposal: on-site versus off-site

Off-site disposal: Sharps waste is collected and segregated in the hospital. And then subsequently transported to a specialized medical waste treatment center for sterilization or incineration.

On-site treatment: On-site treatment completes the harmless disposal of sharps directly in the hospital through the combination of an advanced microwave sterilizer and shredder. It reduces transportation costs and risks and improves treatment efficiency.

LI-YING's microwave sterilizer combined with shredder

LI-YING's innovation is its unique combination of microwave sterilizer and shredder system, whereby the MDU device fragments the waste through a shredder and then uses microwave technology to quickly and efficiently kill the microorganisms in the waste, further reducing its size and infectivity. This process not only ensures that the waste is germ-free, but also facilitates subsequent storage and transportation.

Advantages of LI-YING medical waste disposal equipment

1. Fully automated operation: The LI-YING system realizes fully automated operation, which simplifies the sharps disposal process and reduces the workload of healthcare workers. At the same time, preset and customizable settings ensure optimal results every time.
2. Save storage space and transportation costs: After microwave sterilization and shredding, the waste is greatly reduced in size and is no longer infectious, so it can be disposed of as ordinary garbage, greatly reducing storage space and transportation costs.
3. Wide applicability: The LI-YING system offers a wide range of models and disposal capacity equipment options to meet the needs of medical institutions of different sizes. From hospitals to medical waste disposal companies, a suitable solution can be found.
4. Sustainable and cost-effective: The system utilizes an energy-efficient design that reduces hospital operation and maintenance costs. It is also environmentally friendly as it does not produce dioxin and malodorous gases.
5. Additional safety features: The LI-YING unit is equipped with an emergency stop button. And the closed chamber isolates the treatment process and reduces the risk of accidents. The automatic loading and discharging of the equipment effectively avoids the safety hazards caused by crushing and high temperature.

Conclusion

LI-YING's combined microwave sterilizer and shredder system has revolutionized hospital sharps disposal. It not only improves disposal efficiency and safety, but also reduces costs and risks.
