Explication of Efficient Biomedical Waste Management

Madishetty Rajeswari | Dr. Shubham Babu Gupta

Abstract: Apart from therapy, medical improper disposal is a significant aspect of the healthcare system. Both biodegradable and non-biodegradable particles are found in biomedical waste. Non-biodegradable debris accumulates and can lead to the spread of a variety of new infections and diseases. Further appropriate and efficient waste management measures should be taken to avert such pandemic occurrences. The possibilities and tactics for effective waste management are discussed in this article. The use of synthetic degradable polymers such as polylactic acid, polyurethane, and polycaprolactone in the manufacture of medical devices, implants, and injectables can assist in reducing the detrimental impacts of medical waste on the environment and humanity. Biomedical debris, infectious diseases, and biodegradable polymers are some of the terms that come to mind when thinking of biomedical waste.
