Ingredients and Materials
Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) plastic with puncture-resistant walls. Lid includes a secure locking mechanism and tamper-evident seal. Labels are permanent, solvent-resistant biohazard markings. Manufactured from materials commonly used in medical waste containers to provide impact resistance and leak protection.
How to Use
- Place container on a stable surface or mount using approved bracket systems where available.
- Deposit needles, syringes, scalpels and other disposable sharps directly into the opening—do not attempt to recap needles.
- Do not overfill; fill only up to the indicated fill line (approximately 3.5–4.5L usable depending on item shape) to avoid risk of protrusion or injury.
- Once the container reaches the fill line, engage the tamper-evident lock and dispose of the sealed unit through your facility’s regulated medical waste stream or local hazardous waste program in accordance with local regulations.
- Label or complete any required documentation for regulated waste disposal as required by local, state or national guidelines.
Who It’s For
Ideal for clinics, hospitals, dental practices, laboratories, pharmacies, veterinary clinics, home healthcare providers and any setting that requires safe sharps disposal. This 5L plastic sharps container is suited for point-of-care and mobile setups where a mid-size, durable sharps receptacle is needed.
Caution & Storage
Caution: Use for disposable sharps only. Do not try to open, empty or reuse containers. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid overfilling—do not fill past the indicated fill line. Handle sealed containers as regulated medical waste and follow OSHA, local and national guidelines for disposal. If leakage occurs, handle with puncture-resistant gloves and follow your facility’s spill and exposure procedures.
Storage: Store sealed or unused containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep upright during storage and transport. Follow local regulations and your facility’s infection control policies for temporary storage of filled sharps containers prior to disposal.
For best practice, pair the Sharp Containers Plastic 5L with wall brackets, countertop holders or secure transport bins to maintain workplace safety and streamline sharps management and compliance. Always consult local regulations for medical waste disposal and infection control procedures.
