Here’s a hard truth: most sharps containers require manual needle insertion, increasing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Plus, they’re usually bright yellow, bulky, and loudly signal “medical waste” to everyone nearby. The Glucology FDA-approved pen Needle Pocket Container totally changes the game.
Featuring an innovative twist-in design, you can dispose of your needles safely without ever touching them—just screw your pen needle directly into the container’s opening. As one of the smallest sharps containers available, it fits discreetly in your pocket or purse. Safe disposal never had to mean sacrificing safety or discretion.

Step 1: Slide to Open
Slide the container opening to reveal the twist-in disposal chamber. Your container is now ready for safe use.
Step 2: Insert & Twist
Insert your pen needle tip into the opening, then twist clockwise to securely release the needle inside. Your fingers never come in contact with the sharp.
Step 3: Remove Needle Cap First
Always remove the needle cap before disposal. Discard the plastic cap in regular trash to avoid contamination.
Step 4: Slide to Lock
Once the container reaches about three-quarters full, slide the opening to lock it permanently. The container is now sealed and ready for safe disposal.
Take your sealed container to your local medical waste disposal facility, or follow your area's FDA guidelines for sharps disposal.
Q: How does the twist-in design improve safety over traditional sharps containers?
A: Traditional sharps containers require you to manually insert needles, increasing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Glucology’s patented twist-in design eliminates this risk completely. Simply insert your pen needle into the opening and twist clockwise—the needle safely drops into the container without your fingers ever touching the sharp. This is especially helpful for people with neuropathy, arthritis, vision challenges, or shaky hands, keeping you safer.

A: Absolutely! It is:
✅ FDA-Registered & ISO Certified – Fully compliant with U.S. Food & Drug Administration standards for sharps containers
✅ Slide-to-lock mechanism – Tested and verified for secure closure and safety
