Sharps include any item capable of puncturing the skin and potentially carrying contamination—such as needles, broken glass, lancets, capillary tubes, dental wires, scalpels, and similar instruments. Proper sharps management is essential for reducing the likelihood of needlestick injuries and preventing exposure to infectious materials. Effective sharps disposal also protects the public and the environment by minimizing accidental contact or contamination risks.
