Please note our offices and warehouses will be closed from 24th December until 2nd January 2025.

In-stock orders placed before 4:30pm on Friday 20th December should arrive before Christmas on a Next Working Day Delivery service. We are unable to guarantee this, however, as we rely on external couriers. Orders placed after this time will be processed and despatched as normal, but we cannot guarantee a pre-Christmas delivery. Any orders placed on Tuesday 24th December, or during the festive period, will be delivered in the first working days of the new year.

We recommend you place your order early, and look forward to serving you again in 2025.

Safety Needles & Syringes

EU Directive 2010/52/EU on the prevention of sharps injuries is aimed at employers, requiring them to make appropriate provisions for health care staff in respect of the risk of sharps injuries. It is the employer’s duty to ensure the health and safety of workers. The directive reinforces the need for appropriate levels of training and equipment. A risk assessment must be carried out and where there is a risk of exposure, employers need to identify how exposure can be eliminated. Where exposure cannot be eliminated exposure should be prevented through:

  • Providing sharps disposal equipment as close as possible to where sharps are being used
  • Banning the practice of re-sheathing
  • Implementing safe procedures for using and disposing of sharp medical instruments and contaminated waste
  • Eliminating the unnecessary use of sharps
