HOUSTON, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sharps Compliance Corp.
(OTC:SCOM) (BULLETIN BOARD: SCOM) ("Sharps"), a leading provider of
cost-effective disposal solutions for small quantity generators of
medical waste, today launched a larger version of its flagship
product, the Sharps Disposal By Mail System(R), specifically
designed to meet the needs of medical professionals, such as
physician and dental offices, and provide a safe and efficient
alternative to traditional, more costly medical waste pick-up
services. In addition to the convenient and safe disposal of used
syringes, the new 18 gallon Medical Professional Sharps Disposal By
Mail System(R) (Model number 11800) can be used to collect all of
the medical waste including red bag (biohazard) waste as well as
existing sharps containers located in each examination room. The
product is permitted by the United States Postal System for
transport to the Sharps' owned medical waste disposal facility
located in Carthage, Texas. The mail back solution is a more cost
effective and flexible solution as compared to the traditional pick
up service typically used today. Dr. Burton J. Kunik, the Company's
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "With
approximately 850,000 practicing physicians, dentists and
veterinarians located across the country, we believe the market
opportunity for the Medical Professional Sharps Disposal By Mail
System(R) could exceed $350 million annually. We developed the new
product offering based on feedback from the medical community as a
comprehensive solution to reduce the cost of medical waste disposal
outside of the hospital setting. Additional revenue opportunities
exist for this new line of products in clinics, schools and similar
settings. We have begun to market the new product through our
direct sales force and network of distributors. As a leader in the
