Lincoln, RI – Compassionate Care, Inc is proud to announce the adoption of the Sharps Terminator needle safety device, a cutting-edge technology designed to significantly reduce needlestick injuries and decrease the use of sharps containers. This initiative underscores our commitment to the safety of our healthcare workers and our dedication to environmental sustainability.
“Adopting the Sharps Terminator is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to enhance workplace safety and reduce our environmental footprint,” said Dr. Linda Young, DNP owner of Compassionate Care, Inc. Lincoln “This technology not only protects our staff but also aligns with our sustainability goals by minimizing plastic waste going into the landfills by reducing the frequency of hazardous waste disposal.”
The Sharps Terminator is an innovative device that safely destroys needles at the point of use, converting them into harmless ash. This process not only protects healthcare workers from accidental needlestick injuries but also reduces the volume of biohazardous waste. By implementing this device, Compassionate Care, Inc aims to achieve an average of 93% reduction in the use of sharps containers, contributing to a greener and safer healthcare environment.
