Key Features
-
Hands-Free Disposal: The counterbalanced door stays open during disposal and automatically returns to a closed position, reducing the risk of sharps injuries.
-
Maximizes Capacity: The horizontal drop design allows sharps to lay flat, preventing “pyramiding” and utilizing more of the container’s volume compared to vertical drop models.
-
Enhanced Security: Features temporary closure for daily use and a secure final closure mechanism for safe transport and disposal.
-
OSHA Compliant: Meets all safety standards for puncture resistance and leak prevention; features the universal biohazard symbol clearly printed.
-
Versatile Mounting: Compatible with BD locking wall cabinets and brackets (#305021 or #305447) to keep the container secure in public-accessible areas.
⚠️ Handling: Do not overfill; replace the container when contents reach the designated fill line. Engage final locks before moving for disposal. Store in a secure, upright position.
