Key Features

  • Touchless Deposit: The counterbalanced door automatically swings shut after use, preventing overfilling and ensuring patients and staff cannot reach into the container.

  • OSHA Compliant: Meets or exceeds OSHA and NIOSH standards for puncture resistance and stability, ensuring a safe environment for healthcare workers.

  • Final Locking Mechanism: Once the container reaches capacity, the lid can be permanently locked for safe transport to a biohazard disposal facility.

  • Nestable Design: Containers are designed to nest inside one another when empty, saving valuable storage space before deployment.

  • Cabinet Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit inside the McKesson Prevent wall cabinet (#2263) for added security in high-traffic areas.

Clinical Applications

  • Exam Rooms: Ideal for standard patient rooms where daily injections or blood draws occur.

  • Phlebotomy Stations: Sized perfectly for high-volume blood collection carts or benches.

  • Surgical Centers: Used for the disposal of scalpels and sutures in outpatient surgical suites.
