Sharps Compliance, Inc. Trip LesSystem
The Sharps Compliance, Inc., Sharps Disposal by Mail product line recently was expanded to include the Trip LesSystem for pump return. The system ensures that homecare patients' medical waste is disposed of safely and that associated infusion pumps are returned safely and promptly after treatment. The homecare provider orders the system, completes the tracking manifest, and delivers the system to the patient or caregiver. After the patient completes therapy, the patient or caregiver properly disposes of all medical waste using the Sharps Disposal by Mail System. Using the Trip LesSystem for pump return, the patient or caregiver returns the pump to the homecare company by placing it in a disposable, prepaid postage shipping box furnished by the homecare company. The equipment is returned to the homecare company within 2 days via Federal Express. For more information, call Sharps Compliance, Inc., at (800) 772-5657.
