Description

The 9-gallon sharps container with hinged lid is engineered for secure collection and disposal of medical sharps in clinical and high-traffic healthcare environments. Constructed from durable red plastic, the container accommodates a substantial volume of 9 gallons while maintaining structural integrity. Its nestable design allows efficient storage when not in use, optimizing space in supply areas. The non-sterile container is intended for single-use application to support infection control protocols.

The hinged snap-on lid features vertical entry, permitting controlled deposition of needles, syringes, and other sharps while minimizing exposure risk to personnel. Visual, audible, and tactile (VAT) perimeter locks ensure the lid is securely attached to the base and provide tamper-resistant security. The locking lid mechanism further enhances safety and regulatory compliance by preventing unauthorized access and accidental spills.

Double-wall handles enable safe handling and transport, allowing freestanding placement on floors or work surfaces while maintaining stability. The translucent lid provides clear visibility of fill levels for efficient monitoring and timely disposal. The container’s dimensions of 17.75 × 18.5 × 11.75 inches provide a compact footprint while supporting high-capacity waste collection.
