The McKesson Prevent Sharps Container 5 Quart is conveniently sized for most medical facilities and small clinics. The sharps container is a tool to be used in these facilities to dispose of used sharps equipment. The sharps items are those that can contain blood, human fluids, skin tissue, germs, or any sort of hazardous material that are usually associated with the use of syringes, scalpels, staples, IV lines, and razors.
The McKesson 2261 Prevent 2-Piece Sharps Container with Horizontal Entry Lid reduces the wasted space of many drop-entry sharps containers due to the manner in which the disposed of items are accommodated. By vertically dropping in the used sharps items, it creates a disorderly pile and reduces the capacity of the sharps container -- increasing the money spent on sharps bins. The clear base of the container allows for administrative staff to see when it is time to replace the container. When it is full, the final closure will prevent the lid from opening anymore for safe and tamper-free travel to its final disposal.
The McKesson Prevent 10.75 x 10.5 x 4.75 Inch Sharps Container is made with a two-piece design, helping keep it safe from impact. If it were to be struck or accidentally dropped, it will not shatter. The lid is meant to stay on throughout the use of sharps container's life in the facility. The container is an important part of proper disposal of used surgical or incision items. Depending on your needs, you may be interested in a larger option, such as the 3 Gallon Transparent Red Sharps Container from Covidien.
