All potentially infectious sharps must be disposed of in a biohazard sharps container immediately after use without recapping. Once loaded and capped, the syringe must be transported to the clinic in a sealed, leak-proof, and biohazard-labeled container. Needles must not be bent or sheared. Safety-engineered Syringes. Recapping tools.
