Sharps Container
Puncture-resistant 1L sharps disposal container for safe handling of used needles and syringes.
Product information
For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, therapeutic or veterinary use.
Overview
A 1-litre puncture-resistant sharps disposal container designed for the safe collection and disposal of used needles, syringes, and other sharps waste. Features a one-way lid mechanism that prevents retrieval of deposited items, a clearly visible fill line, and a locking closure for sealed transport when full. Constructed from rigid polypropylene that meets puncture-resistance standards for sharps containment. An essential safety item for any laboratory handling injectable materials.
Mechanism of Action
The one-way aperture in the lid allows insertion of sharps but prevents accidental contact with deposited items. The rigid polypropylene walls (minimum 2mm thickness) resist puncture from standard gauge needles including 18G-31G commonly used in research settings. The red colour and biohazard symbol provide universal identification. When the container reaches the fill line (approximately 75% capacity), the locking lid mechanism engages permanently for safe disposal through appropriate waste management channels.
Research Applications
- Safe disposal of used needles and syringes
- Regulatory compliance for sharps waste handling
- Laboratory safety protocol requirement
- Prevention of needlestick injuries in research settings
