Syringe melting oven

In order to keep your medical facility, personnel and patients safe, you must dispose properly of used syringes. The best way to do this is with a syringe melting oven. According to the World Health Organization, 80,000-160,000 HIV infections have been caused from re-used, un-sterilized syringes worldwide. Those numbers really make you realize how important proper needle and syringe sanitizing and disposal are. A syringe melting oven in every health facility can help solve this epidemic.

The way a syringe melting oven works is through high temperatures. The syringes are placed in the oven, and then high heat melts the plastic and sanitizes the needles. This way, it becomes a large mass of syringes that are now safe to handle. They can then be disposed or recycled according to your health facility’s standards. With the needles and plastic now sanitary, it is safe to re-use the needles. For more information, you should look into recycling options in your area.

Every hospital, doctor’s office and health clinic should have a syringe melting oven. These are available in a couple of different styles. You can purchase smaller ones that sit countertop. These are great for larger facilities, because you can place several in many locations. They are also available in larger models. These are good for anyone wanting to do a large amount of syringe melting at one time.

You have additional options when it comes to a syringe melting oven. These days, there are digital models available. These make training and usage really easy, and that makes them great for health facilities with large turnover. Don’t risk anyone’s health because of new hospital staff. Make sure your syringe melting oven is easy to use. These models will also keep a convenient log of past uses and let you know the temperature and status of the current melting process.
