Have you ever or do you know of anyone who has retrieved a tubex from a sharps box with hemostats?

If it's in the sharps box then it stays in there...Unless of course it is a big diamond..lol

Someone dropped a retractor in one of our big sharps boxes once and we fished it out with an atraumatic grasper (laparoscopic instrument that's about 2 ft long.)

What would you do if you lost your big diamond in the sharps?

If I lost my big diamond in the sharps box I would probably wake up because only in a dream would I have a big diamond.

Well you have to have a big diamond to lose first....lol

Um, is a tubex worth getting stuck with a dirty needle? Not even with hemostats.

Is there some point to the question?

I've dropped the morphine tubexes a couple times when I was throwing away other thing and absentmindedly threw that with everything else. Sign it out as wasted, dropped and get another.

I imagine that is the point to the question. It's not hard to figure out if it's happened to you.
