Key Features

  • Touchless Deposit: The counterbalanced door automatically swings shut after use, preventing overfilling and ensuring patients and staff cannot reach into the container.

  • Visual Fill Monitoring: The translucent construction provides a 360-degree view of the contents, allowing staff to identify when the container has reached its fill line without opening it.

  • OSHA Compliant: Meets or exceeds OSHA and NIOSH standards for puncture resistance and stability, ensuring a safe environment for healthcare workers.

  • Final Locking Mechanism: Once the container reaches capacity, the lid can be permanently locked for safe transport to a biohazard disposal facility.

  • Nestable Design: Containers are designed to nest inside one another when empty, saving valuable storage space before deployment.

  • Cabinet Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit inside the McKesson Prevent wall cabinet (#2263) for added security in high-traffic areas.

Clinical Applications

  • Exam Rooms: Ideal for standard patient rooms where daily injections or blood draws occur.

  • Phlebotomy Stations: Sized perfectly for high-volume blood collection carts or benches.

  • Surgical Centers: Used for the disposal of scalpels and sutures in outpatient surgical suites.

  • Laboratories: Safe containment of contaminated slides and glass pipettes.

⚠️ Usage Note: Single-Use Only. Do not attempt to empty or reuse sharps containers.

⚠️ Safety Alert: Never force sharps into the container. If the door does not swing freely, the container is full and must be replaced immediately.

⚠️ Disposal: Dispose of full containers according to local, state, and federal biohazardous waste regulations.
