What is Isolyser/SMS Sharps Management System?
Isolyser/SMS Sharps Disposal is a sharps treatment and disposal product used to properly dispose of needles, syringes, blades, and other potentially infectious sharps directly in your office. Since 1989, thousands of medical, dental, and veterinary offices have safely used Isolyser/SMS to store, treat, and dispose of sharps.
How does Isolyser/SMS work for sharps disposal?
Using Isolyser/SMS for sharps disposal is easy. Place needles, syringes, blades, endo files, broken capsules, and other sharps in the Isolyser/SMS container, which is pre-filled with a patented liquid monomer. When full, add the two catalyst packets. This will activate the monomer, generate heat, and solidify the sharps into a solid polymeric matrix. Once solidified, the sharps are treated and encapsulated; rendered non-biohazardous, unrecognizable, unusable, and safe for disposal in the regular trash.
What are the key benefits of using Isolyser/SMS for sharps disposal?
There are many benefits to using Isolyser/SMS for sharps disposal:
- No Contracts – ever

- Save 70% – use the savings to buy new equipment

What is a Prop 65 Warning?
Prop 65 Warning refers to a 1986 initiative approved by California voters. The law requires businesses to notify Californians if their products contain any of the 800 chemicals named by the State of California known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. These warnings appear at all gas stations, grocery stores, and even places like Starbucks Coffee. As required by California Prop 65, we must inform you that Isolyser products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
