5 Quart Clear Prevent Sharps Disposal Container with Horizontal Entry Lid 2261

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 sharps used 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 after the use of syringes, scalpels, staples, IV lines, razors, and anything of that nature.

The McKesson 2261 Prevent 2-Piece Sharps Container with Horizontal Entry Lid improves upon reducing the waste that most drop-entry sharps containers have in association with the manner in which they are accommodated. By simply vertically dropping in the used sharps items, you allow them to become clustered, creating a pile and reducing the capacity of the sharps container - increasing your cost of sharps bins. The clear base of the container allows for administrative staff to see when it is time to replace the container, setting it aside for final closure that prevents the lid from opening any more, for a safe and tamper-free travel for final disposal.

The McKesson Prevent 10.75 X 10.5 X 4.75 Inch Sharps Container is made up of a two-piece design, helping keep the item 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 containers life in the facility. The container is just part of the 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.
