What is biomedical waste?

Biomedical waste refers to any kind of waste containing infectious, or potentially infectious materials. Also biomedical wastes mainly come from health care facilities like hospitals, clinics, dentist offices, physician’s offices, nursing homes, blood bank and collection centers etc. Improper management of biomedical waste brings potential danger of getting infected or injured to health care facility staff, patients, waste handler and even the general public. So it is very important that all biomedical wastes are properly handled in a safe manner. Biomedical waste shredder is a necessary equipment for disposing biomedical waste.

Biomedical waste shredder

Biomedical waste is distinct from normal trash or general waste. They are also different from other types of hazardous waste, such as chemical, radioactive, universal or industrial waste. Biomedical wastes generally include waste materials such as needles, scalpels, used swabs, used bandages, human tissues, organs, animal carcasses etc.. They will pose potential risks to human health or the environment and thus requires special treatment. Due to the special requirement, a biomedical waste shredder is normally with full close design. It can effectively avoid waste from coming out of the shredder machine during shredding process. Most biomedical waste shredders are of double shaft design instead of single shaft design. Because double shaft shredder are with slower rotor rotation speed, which can also better prevent shredding material from scattering around during shredding process.
