HOME INJECTIONS
• 9 million Americans use needles or other sharps at home
• Generating each year
• 3 billion used needles and other sharps
• 900 million lancets
• Patients are not well educated as to how to dispose of their home-generated sharps

The Cost
$500 - $1.7 million per needlestick
The Solution
Multifaceted
