Description

The In-Room Sharps Container, 5QT with SHARPSTAR® Lid, provides a safe and reliable solution for the disposal of contaminated sharps in clinical settings. Constructed from durable plastic, the container features a translucent base and lid that enable continuous visual monitoring of fill levels. The design includes a counter-balanced horizontal entry lid that automatically closes to minimize exposure risk and help prevent accidental access once items are deposited.

This sharps container incorporates a locking lid system for secure closure when full, reducing the likelihood of tampering and ensuring safe handling during final disposal. The container meets OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iii), requiring contaminated sharps containers to be maintained upright throughout use, thereby supporting compliance with workplace safety standards. Its 5-quart capacity, equal to 1.25 gallons, is appropriately sized for exam rooms, patient care areas, and high-risk clinical environments.

The SHARPSTAR® Lid system enhances safety by preventing overfilling, as it locks in the “FULL” position once maximum capacity is reached. This feature makes the container especially well suited for pediatric, geriatric, and high-risk areas where staff and patient safety are paramount. The clear body and lid also allow healthcare personnel to visually confirm proper disposal.
