The Daniels Medismart system introduces a new standard of safe medical waste management.

Since medical waste was regulated in 1986, disposal methodologies have expanded to include bins of various sizes lined with red bags. Typical practices in US hospitals is that the bags are collected and consolidated for shipment and final processing and destruction; a process which leads to handling medical waste 2, 3, or even 4 times from the point of generation through to placement at the dock ready for disposal. With spillages and incorrectly disposed sharps piercing bags, these practices can lead to high safety risks, inflated labor costs, and greater exposure to infection transfer.

The Medismart has been proven to reduce medical waste volumes by up to 65%, significantly reducing labor and disposal costs. Reducing infection risk and delivering segregation efficiencies and environmental burden reduction, the Medismart combats logistical challenges commonly associated with healthcare waste disposal whilst keeping staff and patient safety the highest priority.

A 3 year study examined the impact of a hospital transitioning
from a 64Gallon bin to the Daniels 17Gallon Medismart. Results showed: 

MEDICAL WASTE VOLUME REDUCTION 


Medical Waste mass reduction of 53.2% and waste volume reduction of 65.2% 

REDUCED LABOR IN HANDLING 


Labor cost reduction associated with logistics in handling waste of 69.2%

REDUCED WASTE DISPOSAL COSTS


Medical waste disposal cost reduction of 30.9% plus efficiencies in space and waste movement gained

INFECTION / SHARPS RISK REDUCTION 


Minimized infection potential with hands-free use and the elimination of bags and secondary packaging

We need to Evolve


In the last three decades, despite rapid advancements within the medical industry, healthcare waste management practices have remained largely unchanged. 
 

  • Stationary, open-lidded and/or full-touch waste receptacles are used in patient-care areas
     
  • The practice of transferring medical waste into bags or cardboard boxes is too common
     
  • Unwashed containers pose a heightened risk of spillage, dirt residue and infection transfer
     
  • Preventable Sharps injuries happen from overfilled containers and penetrable packaging
