Wellion Sharps Container - safe disposal of used needles
protects at home, in the doctors office and in nursing care
Avoid needlestick injuries
Used pen needles and lancets should be disposed of in a suitable container, preferably in the puncture-proof Wellion sharps container.
Unscrew the used pen needle from the pen after each injection - you can use the outer protective cap if you wish. For a painless blood glucose measurement, also dispose of each lancet after a single use. Collect them in the safe Wellion sharps container.
Once the lid of the Wellion sharps container is properly pushed on and completely closed, the Wellion sharps container cannot be opened again. The puncture-proof container is disposed of with the used pen needles or lancets. In this way, people within the disposal chain can also be protected from needlestick injuries.
The Wellion Sharps Container is designed according to ISO standard for sharps containers (ISO 23907): It ensures puncture resistance, secure closure and is labelled accordingly. The container is therefore suitable for safe disposal of sharp objects such as used pen needles and lancets. These items are considered as hazardous waste due to the risk of injury and contamination.
