Sharps Disposal at the School of Medicine
Stanford School of Medicine utilizes the Daniels Sharpsmart reusable sharps container system. The Sharpsmart system combines elegantly designed and durably constructed containers at the point of use with off-site cleaning and reconditioning of the containers that are returned to the point of use.
