Cytotoxic Waste Disposal
There are two distinct categories of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, Medicinal products falling under this classification are characterised by their toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity. These pharmaceuticals are primarily employed in the treatment of conditions like cancer. This category encompasses expired or leftover medications, which can take various forms, such as tablets, liquids or creams.
Contaminated waste is another significant component of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste. This category encompasses any items or materials that have come into contact with these potent medications. For example, it includes gloves or garments worn by healthcare professionals when handling such drugs. The reason for classifying these items as cytotoxic and cytostatic waste is the inherent danger associated with exposure to these medications.
Cytotoxic Waste Containers
Store filled bags of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste in sealable waste containers that can be colour-coded to prevent cross-contamination.
Use yellow containers with purple lids for storing sharps that have been in contact with cytotoxic or cytostatic waste, such as needles, syringes, and scalpels.
Purple clinical waste bags are the best choice for cytotoxic and cytostatic waste storage. They can be securely tied to prevent leakage.
