Integrated Dental Holdings (IDH) has chosen inSafe by Astek Innovations Ltd as its solution to compliance with Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013. Employers are now required to use safer sharps incorporating protection mechanisms, prevent the recapping of needles and place secure containers and instructions for safe disposal of medical sharps close to the work area.

As the UK's largest corporate, IDH takes seriously its responsibility for staff safety and has chosen inSafe by Astek Innovations Ltd., after extensive testing, as the safest and most clinically effective system. The system is being rolled out to all 500+ IDH sites and will improve the safety of the working environment for more than 3,000 staff.

inSafe by Astek Innovations Ltd. was chosen because it feels and operates like a standard cartridge syringe with a range of different aspiration methods and incorporates the most robust locking sleeve. The sharps container enables quick, simple and safe removal and disposal of used needles providing total safety throughout the whole process from set up of the syringe to disposal of the needle. The cost per use and environmental impact is lower than disposable safety syringe systems.

IDH takes its obligations towards protecting staff and clinicians very seriously across the company.
