Everyone should follow the same procedure of
disposing of sharps that have been used on

disposed of immediately using a sharps disposal
container. Many sharps disposal containers are
available with pharmacies, health care providers
and online. The containers are FDA cleared and
puncture and leak-resistant with a tight-fitting
lid. In case these containers are not available,
then you can use a strong and durable plastic
container like laundry detergent
container. Accidentally Hurt by a Used Needle or
Sharp? In case you accidentally get hurt by
someone elses used needle or sharp, you should
wash the area immediately with soap and use a
skin antiseptic. Once done, call your physician
or a local hospital for prompt medical
assistance.
