Minimising the risk of needle stick injuries for healthcare workers and patients has always been the primary mission for Sharpsafe. Ensuring a safer and more efficient workflow is crucial in medical environments, where sharp objects like needles and syringes pose a significant risk of accidental injuries. Providing innovative and intuitive sharps containers is the key to better sharps management.

The history of medical innovations is rich with groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionised healthcare. One such innovation, the syringe, has played a crucial role in medicine for centuries.
However, while syringes have been instrumental in administering life-saving treatments, the associated risks, particularly the dangers of needlestick injuries to healthcare workers, were not initially given the necessary attention. The disposal and handling of syringes only became a significant concern much later, leading to the development of sharps safety measures and specialised containment solutions.
In this article, we explore the historical evolution of syringes, and the eventual recognition of the risks posed to healthcare workers, which prompted the development of sharps containers and safety initiatives worldwide.
