What Is Bio Medical Waste?
Biomedical waste consists of used medical supplies that could potentially contain disease. That includes waste from laboratories, like live vaccines, tissue, bone and blood samples, body fluids or waste from humans or animals, and anything sharp that has been used to break the skin or scrape skin cells, plus things like disposable hospital gowns, latex gloves, catheters and wound dressings. In short, anything that might have been exposed to the samples, bodily fluids or waste of a person or animal that might be diseased.
