The BD 305489 Red Sharps Collector with Hinge Cap and Petals is a container used in many medical facilities to dispose of needles, used syringes, scalpel blades, or other sharp items that are used to create cuts or incisions in the skin or have been removed from the skin such as staples and sutures. These items have been in contact with blood and apart from being a biohazard, it can sometimes also carry viruses that can infect anyone who may come in contact with it. These types of items must be removed from the general public and held in a safe container - disposing of it in a regular trash bin does not suffice safety etiquette.
The Becton Dickinson 11.5 x 9.4 x 5.3 Sharps Container was created as a unique container for the safe utilization and transportation of the sharps bin. Even when taking these bins to their final areas, there is a risk involved while transporting the container. To reduce the risk of the opening while en route or the lid coming off if the container was to drop the structure and the components of the lid are durable enough to keep it from spilling out or breaking apart. The conveniently sized 6.9-quart volume of the collector can fit nicely on most carts or mounted on walls.
The sharps container includes a security hinge cap to close entry into the sharps container to secure the items inside and also offers a petal entry. The petal entry is made in way to allow staff to drop in the syringes without allowing for anything else to be taken out of the container - the petals will prevent any items from coming back out by closing together at the top of the lid entry. To dispose of your sharp items in a sharps collector bin is to follow protocol and keep your office members and visitors safe.
