The 'Safe Management of Healthcare Waste' guidance published by the Department of Health (2006) provides a national colour-coded system for the management and disposal of sharps and other healthcare wastes. The entire Sharpsguard range comes with colour-coded lids and labels for ease of appropriate segregation and consignment, leading to good waste management and compliance with best practice and the current regulations. The Sharpsguard Cyto Purple is a comprehensive range of containers for the disposal of sharps including those contaminated with cytotoxic and/or cytostatic medicinal products and their residues. These containers are designed to be used throughout the hospital, in all wards and departments, as well as the community setting where cytotoxic and/or cytostatic medicines are in use. For added protection, absorbent pads are now included in all containers.
