Good afternoon, all,
We use retractable needles for most of our SC and IMs and if retractable needles cannot be used, we use standard- small yellow sharps bin to dispose of the sharp at the point of care.
Retractable needles are always used for Reusable insulin pens.
I hope this helps a bit.
Kind Regards
