Description
What does it take to make medical waste disposal safer, faster, and completely mess-free?
Editor-in-Chief Liz Cuneo talks with Ashleigh Hotz of SmartSolv and Victoria Robinson of Safetec about the water-soluble, biodegradable packaging behind Safetec's drop-in solidifier pouches, which let OR workers skip the cutting, measuring, and pouring that traditional packets require. They discuss how the technology improves worker safety and spill containment, its roots in AIDS-era infectious waste protocols, and how upcoming EPR regulations could make dissolvable materials a financial advantage as well as an environmental one.
