Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Centers, are very unique when it comes to the generation of Regulated Medical/Hazardous Waste, and often require a custom, all-inclusive solutions that allow them to stay compliant with all local, state and federal regulations, while at the same time offer their patients, staff and visitors a “peace of mind” perspective. This is where BioSecure comes in. We are a market expert, offering a safe, clean, accountable and transparent solutions, solutions that allow our clients to concentrate on their daily routine, while at the same time entrusting us with the collection, transportation and final disposal of their RMW (Regulated Medical Waste) and Compliance Training.
Typical Medical Waste generated by Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Centers includes:
Microbiological Wastes (cultures and stocks of infectious wastes and associated biologicals and microorganisms that can cause disease in humans)
Human Blood and Blood Products (including serum, plasma, and other blood components)
Pathological Wastes of human origin (including tissues, organs, and body parts removed during surgery, studies, or another surgical procedure)
Isolation Wastes (biological waste and discarded materials contaminated with blood, excretion, exudates or secretion)
Contaminated Sharps (items that can penetrate skin or induce sub-dermal inoculation of infectious agents, puncture cardboard boxes and waste bags, including hypodermic needles, syringes, Pasteur pipettes, capillary tubes, broken glass from surgeries including slides
and slide covers, razor blades, and scalpel blades)
Other waste categories the EPA considers are: wastes from surgery or autopsy that were in contact with infectious agents (e.g., sponges, soiled dressings, drapes, surgical gloves, drainage sets); dialysis wastes that were in contact with blood; discarded medical equipment and parts that were in contact with infectious agents; and laboratory wastes that were in contact with infectious agents (e.g., laboratory coats, slides, and cover slips).
What about compliance?
With BioSecure all-inclusive, accountable and transparent solutions, we take the “guess work” out of Federal/State and Local Regulations. Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Centers entrust us with their Medical/Hazardous waste management needs, and we offer them a piece of mind in return, knowing that their medical waste is kept, transported and disposed in a safe, ethical, regulatory and sustainable way.
Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Centers are inherently different than typical doctors’ offices, clinics, or hospitals. Their volume of patients can fluctuate dramatically throughout any given time period. They might find themselves extremely busy during one part of the year, slower at other times. They tend to be smaller and have less room for proper storage of regulated medical waste. What does all this mean for their generated waste? It means working with a reputable, experienced, local medical waste management company is the smartest, easiest way to ensure full compliance with any and all medical waste laws.
