Why SafeSnap®
The Total Control Solution to Needle Safety:
The SafeSnap retractable needle security syringe incorporates patented retraction and encapsulation technology that permits the user to “selectively control” the isolation of the needle within the barrel of the syringe immediately after use, thereby facilitating safe disposal.
The SafeSnap syringe becomes its own sharps container:
The SafeSnap syringe is the only available syringe that becomes it’s own sharps container, thereby providing significant savings in disposal.
An average 200-bed hospital spends $80,000 to $100,000 per year on the purchase of sharps containers alone. In addition, infectious waste disposal costs range from $0.25 to $0.35 per pound. Empty sharps containers for a 200-bed hospital weigh between 10-12 tons based on studies by the California Department of Health.
The overall annual savings for a 200-bed hospital purchasing at least 50% less sharps containers and the reduced tonnage of infectious waste disposal represents a conservative savings of at least $100,000.
Designed with the Healthcare Worker in Mind:
The patented SafeSnap design and its unique features, technically and aesthetically, are a direct result of extensive clinical feedback received by industry experts, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. |
