Es importante desechar los objetos punzocortantes de manera segura. Los objetos punzocortantes son peligrosos para las personas y las mascotas, porque pueden causar lesiones y propagar infecciones.
Para ayudar a los pacientes a manejar y desechar sus objetos punzocortantes usados, muchas compañías farmacéuticas ofrecen programas de acopio de objetos punzocortantes, que a menudo son gratuitos. Otras compañías proporcionan recipientes aprobados por la FDA a los pacientes que usan medicamentos que requieren objetos punzocortantes. A continuación se presenta una lista de estos programas para los que puede ser elegible, así como la información de contacto para que los pacientes se inscriban en un programa.
