The ASP FITPACK® Container range is the only personal sharps container design on the market offering the facility to store both clean and used syringes in a single container. Designed by ASP Plastics, an ISO 9001 certified company, the product has achieved domestic and overseas success with the intellectual property of the FITPACK® Container range protected by international patents.

The prevention of HIV/AIDS and other blood borne viruses such as hepatitis C (HCV) among intravenous illicit drug users, moved a step forward in 1990 when a product called a FITPACK® Container was introduced.

This important public health initiative was instigated by the NSW Department of Health and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia (NSW Branch) and followed close collaboration between the NSW Department of Health and the Australian plastics manufacturer, ASP Plastics.

The result was FITPACK® Containers supplying sterile injecting equipment with a unique self-disposal facility for used (unsterile) hypodermic syringes. Since its introduction over 66 million FITPACK® Containers have been distributed worldwide. In Australia several million containers are distributed each year as part of concerted national harm reduction initiatives.

Whilst primarily targeted at users of illicit drugs, FITPACK® Containers provide comparable benefits to mainstream community health professionals and other direct consumers such as diabetics. FITPACK® Containers hold up to ten 1ml insulin syringes, and can simultaneously contain both sterile and used syringes.

The ASP Health Care R&D Team is currently designing containers of greater capacity and for larger syringes.
