A safe standard
for sharps medical waste
from home treatment
Used needles and syringes from home-administered therapies pose a real risk to pharmacists, waste management workers and the public. MEDIBONEX delivers a certified solution that meets applicable technical standards.
Why a systemic solution is needed
Sharps medical waste from home treatment often ends up in unsuitable containers — plastic bottles, jars, or ordinary municipal waste.
This situation creates:
- Risk of injuryto sorting plant and pharmacy workers
- Potential biological hazards(HBV, HCV, HIV)
- Legislative ambiguityin waste producer responsibility
The technical standard ČSN EN ISO 23907 sets requirements for safe collection devices for sharps. It is not, however, uniformly applied to the home setting.
The safe collection standard
A certified container for sharps medical waste must provide:
- Puncture resistance
- Safe one-way closure
- Stable construction
- Clear labelling
- Compliance with ČSN EN ISO 23907
MEDIBONEX specialises in solutions that meet this standard.
Worker protection and risk prevention
Safe handling of sharps waste is not only a matter of comfort, but above all of protecting health.
A sharps injury can have serious consequences:
- Occupational injuries
- Need for medical examination
- Psychological strain
- Administrative and legal impact
Standardised collection significantly reduces these risks.

Introducing certified containers brings:
- Greater staff safety
- A consistent process for waste intake
- Reduced risk when handling unsuitable containers
