Further Information:

• Medasil^® Sharps Disposal Pads consist of a flat substrate layer measuring 150mm x 120mm, with two integral perforated lines to assist safe and accurate folding, and effective closure, at the end of the procedure.
• The base of the pad is coated with a 4mm layer of PVA foam, coloured pale yellow to provide a good visual background.
• Half of the foam area has a strong adhesive coating, initially protected by a transparent cover film.

Intended Use:

Sharps disposal pads are initially designed to provide a safe, secure location in clinical areas for the temporary storage of used or discarded needles and blades, until the second interoperative count is successfully completed at the end of the procedure. After the count is reconciled, Sharps Pads should fully encase the hazardous contents in a protective foam cushion, with the integral adhesive surface ensuring that the pad maintains a strong and reliable closure to enable safe transit and disposal.
