Syringe Storage Best Practices

Individually wrapped syringes stay sterile only while the wrap is intact. Store them flat in a rigid container rather than loose in a drawer where the wrap can be pierced.

Keep stock out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources — UV degrades packaging film faster than most people expect.

Rotate stock first-in, first-out and record batch numbers with the storage location so audits take minutes rather than hours.

Dispose of sharps only through an approved sharps container and follow your state's regulations.
