Sharpsmart

Sharpsmart (operating at sharpsmart.co.uk) is a clinical safety innovation company engineered for healthcare environments. Founded in 1986 by Dan Daniels and headquartered in Spennymoor, Durham, England, Sharpsmart revolutionized sharps waste management by introducing the first reusable system designed to drastically reduce needlestick injuries—cutting risks by up to 87%. Under the hood, the company’s patented Sharpsmart container replaces single-use alternatives with a durable, recyclable solution that minimizes environmental impact while maintaining infection control standards. This allows hospitals and healthcare providers to prioritize staff safety, reduce waste disposal costs, and enhance operational sustainability.
