Nelo is a healthcare safety innovation brand founded by Dr. Chinelo Pearl Nwaogbo, a nurse practitioner with more than 15 years of experience. Inspired by the needlestick risks she encountered in healthcare settings, Nelo aims to protect workers and improve safety through smart sharps disposal solutions.

Its Smart Disposal System is designed to support safer, more efficient disposal while fitting into existing healthcare workflows. The system uses RFID-based monitoring, automated alerts, built-in alarms, automatic lid closures, and contactless, keyless operation. These features are intended to help prevent overfilled containers, encourage timely disposal and replacement, reduce human error, and minimize the risk of needlestick injuries. Nelo emphasizes practical, intuitive technology that offers protection with minimal disruption to everyday routines.

The brand serves healthcare professionals and facilities seeking to strengthen sharps safety and support compliance with safety protocols. Nelo also shares information about needlestick injury risks and its safety mission, and invites interested organizations to contact the company or inquire about pre-ordering units.
