12 Quart Transparent SharpStar Sharps Container with Counterbalance Lid 8537SA

The Cardinal Health 3-Gallon SharpSafety In-Room Sharps Containers with SharpStar Lid (formerly Covidien 8537SA) should be considered when stocking your medical office or healthcare clinic. Many facilities, including donation centers, medical clinics, doctor's offices, and hospitals, all follow safe practices when disposing of sharps items properly. The best and safest way to dispose of these sharps items, such as syringes, needles, and scalpels, is through the use of sharps containers that conceal these sharps items, which may have blood or bodily fluids on them, and keep them secured without the possibility of being taken out again.

The Cardinal Health 16.5 x 6 x 13.75 Inch In-Room Sharpstar Safety Container is a multi-use, multi-purpose sharps container that can also accept items such as elongated needles and elongated sharps items. The best feature about the sharps container is the horizontal entry lid, which serves a few functions. When you dispose of sharps objects into the container, they are placed inside horizontally and are accommodated inside the bin in the same way. This helps reduce cost when ordering new sharps containers because with a horizontal lid, the items will stack neatly on top of each other instead of bulking together into an unorganized pile, wasting space and filling the container sooner.

The locking lid feature of the sharps container keeps the item from being opened once it has been locked. Since the base is a translucent red color, you will be able to see the contents inside. In the event that children -- who may be your patients or come in with your adult patients -- may become interested in what is located inside, the lid has been made to lock when required and set for final transportation. When transporting the device, worries of spills and breaking are lessened as the sharps container is made of a single piece; sturdy plastic material that prevents shattering.

If there was ever a spill to clean up, you must be prepared when the situation arises. You can do so by having a cleanup kit, such as the Hospeco First Step Blood Spill Clean-Up Kit.
