Clinical Waste
In-line with The College of Optometrists guidelines, practices are required to dispose of ophthalmic drugs in an appropriate and safe manner. These guidelines will also meet the requirements of the General Ophthalmic Services contract.
Cannon are able to offer their Pharmi Bin (available in various sizes) suitable to dispose of Minims, Fluorets, contact lens solution and out of date contact lenses. These are leak proof once sealed.
