Enhancing the safety of hazardous hospital waste disposal

Nisus Medical Limited is the official UK partner of Paxxo of Sweden, a family-owned company based in Malmo founded in 1980.

The unique Paxxo range has been manufactured in Sweden for more than 30 years. It has become the clinical standard for the management of both hazardous and general waste in hospitals throughout Scandinavia as well as many other European countries. Meanwhile Paxxo plastic cassettes are sold in 35 countries worldwide.

Introduced in the UK in 2013, the unique Paxxo waste solutions range is suitable for all areas of a busy, modern healthcare establishment. Based on endless bag technology and bag sealing options, it minimises risk and improves air quality and staff safety, since exposure to clinical or offensive waste throughout the disposal process is avoided.

Paxxo has been donating 1% of its profits after taxes since 1992. In 2013, donations were made to Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Keep Sweden Tidy and the Swedish organisation Stadmissionen.

This year Paxxo also contributed to the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. PAXXO has certified compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14 001. The company is committed to ecological development, which includes reducing the environmental impact of its products.
