Product Description
The Oakridge Products 5 Quart Sharps Disposal Container provides a professional-grade solution for the safe management of biohazard waste. Designed for both high-volume medical environments and home healthcare needs, this container features a sophisticated counter-balanced horizontal drop lid. This mailbox-style design ensures touch-free disposal; simply drop the waste into the lid and it automatically rotates to deposit the item safely into the bucket before returning to its open position. The translucent red bucket allows for easy monitoring of fill levels, while the robust, puncture-resistant plastic construction meets stringent safety standards for hazardous waste. To ensure maximum safety during final disposal, the lid includes dual closing levers and snap locks that eliminate the need for manual reach-across. This container is compatible with standard 5-quart cabinet systems and is safe for both autoclave and incineration processes. It is ideal for those requiring frequent disposal of insulin pens, lancets, syringes, and other sharp medical instruments.
