BD 6.9 qt Red Sharps Container w/ Funnel Entry - 305489

The BD 305489 Red Sharps Collector with Hinge Cap and Petals is a container used in many medical facilities to dispose of needles, used syringes, scalpel blades, or other sharp items that are used to create cuts or incisions in the skin or have been removed from the skin, such as staples and sutures. These items have been in contact with blood and in addition to being a biohazard, they may carry viruses and bacteria that can infect anyone who comes in contact with them. These types of items must be removed from access and held in a safe container -- disposing of sharps in a regular trash bin does not follow safety etiquette.

The Becton Dickinson 11.5 x 9.4 x 5.3 Sharps Container was created as a unique container for the safe utilization and transportation of the sharps bin. Even when taking these bins to their final destinations, there is a risk involved while transporting the container. To reduce the risk of opening while en route or the lid coming off if the container were to drop, the structure and the components of the lid are durable enough to keep from spilling open or breaking apart. The conveniently sized 6.9-quart volume of the collector can fit nicely on most carts or mounted on walls.

The sharps collector bin includes a security hinge cap to close entry into the sharps container to secure the items inside and also offers a petal entry. The petal entry allows staff to drop in the syringes without allowing for anything else to be taken out of the container -- the petals prevent any items from coming back out by closing together at the top of the lid entry. To dispose of your sharp items in a sharps collector bin is to follow protocol and keep your office employees and visitors safe.

If you have a much larger facility, you may benefit from other options such as the Cardinal Health 18 Gallon Red SharpSafety Sharps Container.
