Protect your patients and employees with durable sharps containers mounted in exam rooms, labs and other key areas. Rigid plastic construction keeps sharp materials and any fluids inside the container to help prevent accidental contamination and the spread of infection.
Special Construction for Safe Disposal
Sharps containers are important biohazard supplies that help you safely dispose of hypodermic needles, IV catheters and other sharp, disposable medical tools. The hard plastic design makes the products strong enough to prevent pointed objects from penetrating the sides. Proper disposal in a designated sharps container reduces the risk of individuals being poked or cut by hazardous items. Manufacturers create these specialty items to resist leaking, so bodily fluids, blood and other contaminants remain inside to prevent accidental contact with employees or patients. Sharps containers remain upright and have secure lids that keep objects inside during storage and transport to the final disposal location. Stay in compliance with regulations and help maintain the safety of your workplace with these canisters.
Convenient Features
The containers come with different lid designs, making them easy and convenient. Hinged lids let you easily flip up one side to drop in the used medical tool. Counter-balanced lids operate quickly and easily when your hands are full. Some products use a one-way funnel valve to help prevent accidental needle pokes or overfilling. Rotor lids close when not in use while allowing access as needed. Most containers feature a locking design for the final disposal to ensure the materials stay put.
Warning Labels for Safe Handling
Everyone in contact with the containers needs to be educated about how to use them properly to prevent possible malfunctions. The bright red color of most sharps containers is the first visual indicator. Labels display the biohazard symbol to make it clear that the object is to be used only for those types of material. Most labels feature additional information warning about the contents and proper handling of the unit. A maximum fill line, usually about three-quarters of the way up, is a safety element belonging to the label. This line indicates when the object is approaching maximum capacity, which helps enhance safety and prevent accidents.
Sizes and Flexibility
The amount of biohazard material you generate impacts the size of containers you need. Busy medical practices benefit from large products to hold more waste before they need to empty the contents. If you’re looking for convenience, stock up on smaller biohazard containers that easily fit onto a medical cart. You’ll also want to keep on hand a supply of nitrile gloves sterile pads and needle disposal systems to handle any situation that involves sharps, blood or bodily fluids.
Hanging Racks for Easy Access
Brackets designed specifically for biohazard disposal units make installation convenient. Consider hanging the sharps containers in patient exam rooms, labs, first aid areas or other places where staffers frequently use needles or other sharp objects. The container stays secure inside the rack to help prevent accidental tipping. Everyone should know where to find them to ensure that disposal is not delayed. The brackets attach firmly to the wall and use durable material to hold the objects in place.
