Over 1.4 billion syringes are used by patients at home and on a busy schedule every year. Acceptable disposal often is a problem, with about 385,000 accidental needle stick accidents every year in the U. S.. Post Medical, Inc. Manufactures and markets a protected sharps disposal system for home injectable medicines, The Voyager, providing a total diabetes needle disposal solution that eradicates random injury and potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens.
"Post Medical is committed to providing seamless, eco-friendly and safer sharps disposal solutions that improve the security of medical care workers, patients and the community," said Matthew Walker, President and Chief Operating Officer.
The Voyager is sufficiently large to accommodate over 100 needles, yet small enough to slip into a pocket, purse, back-pack or briefcase. It offers circumspect sharps disposal anytime or place it's required. Many identical products simply clip the used needle, leaving a small part of it visible. The Voyager is specially built to sever the needle and heart from the remainder of the syringe barrel, effectively preventing any reuse of the syringe. The Voyager holds 100-120 insulin syringe needles and the container can be placed in regular household trash in some states. Check local and state regulations for correct needle disposal.
The Voyager accepts 1/3cc, 1/2cc and 1cc insulin syringes, with most lancets and glucose test strips. There's never any danger of family, buddies, youngsters or pets accidentally being stuck by a used needle. It also gives a safe solution for waste handlers and others in the chain of disposal that are in danger of needles placed in hazardous containers such as bleach bottles and coffee cans.
Patients with diabetes keep active partakers in a large range of activities, and the Voyager diabetic needle disposal system by Post Medical, Inc. Permits them to enjoy life to the fullest, without worrying about the disposal of their medicines or inflicting accidental needle sticks. It is an ideal home and travel solution that offers complete safety for family, chums, pets and disposal workers.
