Maryland Medical Waste Management | Medical & Biohazardous Waste Disposal
As one of the original 13 colonies, Maryland also inspired Francis Scott Key to pen America’s iconic national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Just over 6 million people call this mid-Atlantic state home, and it is nestled between Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia and Washington DC. While steeped in history, today it’s famous for its unique flora and fauna, boating, crabbing and a culinary culture all of its own.
Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the US. Dotted with waterfront towns, brimming with an abundance of oysters, clams and their world famous crabs. Known for their abundant strawberries, The Lancaster County Dutch Market of Germantown, is the perfect place to enjoy some local snacks. Boasting a variety of marshes, wetlands, parks, forests, rivers and white sandy beaches. Major attractions include: Chestertown, host of the ‘Tea Party Festival’ every May. The historical towns of Oxford and Cambridge, Hart-Miller and Hooper’s Islands, all with their own unique history and signature dishes. Annapolis, also known as America’s ‘Sailing Capital’, gets wild on Wednesday nights between April and September with night-time sailboat racing. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge covers 25,000 acres of the eastern shore, a popular place for migrating birds and bird watchers, while fossil hunters flock to Calvert Cliffs to marvel in the remains of ancient sharks, birds and whales.
Crisfield hosts the annual Labor Day ‘National Hard Crab Derby’ and is considered the ‘Seafood Capital of the World’, while Smith Island is home to the state’s official dessert the ‘Smith Island Cake’ featuring thin layers of cake held together by gooey chocolate fudge. A number of famous faces were born in the ‘Old Line State’ including, actors Ed Norton, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Anna Faris and The Hoff. The band R.E.M. even have a song titled “Rockville” after the Maryland city the lead singer didn’t want his girlfriend at the time to return to. While Baltimore was the birthplace of the most decorated Olympic Champion in history; Michael Phelps, baseball legend Babe Ruth and author Tom Clancy. Maryland was also home to some medical firsts. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick details how the war lead to many medical innovations that we still benefit from today. In 1828 the St. Francis Academy was the first dental school in the world. While the first female professor of medicine, Dr. Florence Rina Sabin, graduated from the John Hopkins School of Medicine in 1901.

Medical waste bins do not have to be ugly!
Bins that look nice, and clean, and are clinically designed for a clinical environment? It’s not rocket science (well, we don’t think it is!)
When considering the design of a medical waste bin, we asked ourselves the question “if we or our loved ones were in an hospital room – what would we think would be an acceptable standard for a medical waste bin?”The answer was clean, clinical, germ-free, hygienic. We’ve all been in clinical environments where medical waste bins do not live up to this image, and at Daniels Health we are passionate about changing this! Involving clinicians in our design process and engaging clinical feedback during trials, Daniels range of containers cater for all healthcare wastestreams and have been peer reviewed in internationalmedical journalsfor achieving unprecedented clinical outcomes. Through containers, service and processed, we are focused on clinical safety.
Dramatically reduced infection transfer risk
Using a foot-pedal opening mechanism and bagless system means hand contact with the container is no longer required.
This no-touch alternative results in a dramatic reduction in the infection transfer risk that currently exists using standard medical waste containers.The Medismart reusable system ensures that once full, each container is removed from your premises, emptied, and then subjected to a rigorous 6-stage robotic wash and sanitization process that eliminates challenge organisms andproves a 106 Log reduction inbacterial load.
Infection Prevention and Waste | A new paradigm
Rethinking how medical waste impacts the clinical environment
We talk about hand-hygiene, we talk about “touches” and the spread of infection, what we don’t talk about is the impact waste in a patient environment has on infection control. Bins being wheeled from ICU through to a loading dock, static containers that never undergo high-pressure wash or sanitization, open-lidded bins inpatient wards. At Daniels, we are rethinking what clinical means when it comes to medical waste management.
Be Sustainable, Choose Reusable
99.6% reduction in the amount of plastic landfilled per annum
Upon converting from reusable containers to the Sharpsmart reusable system, one hospital achieved a 28% waste reduction and 84% reduction in carbon emissions across their 103 facilities, achieving atotal waste reduction of 3.9 tons of plastic and cardboard waste per 100 beds per annum. Furthermore, a 51% reduction in container exchange labor was achieved by the install of larger Sharpsmart containers that were more suitable to volume requirements.
