McKesson Heavy-Duty Trash Bags - LLDPE Star Seal Bottom Coreless Roll, 100 Count - Premium Waste Management for Healthcare & Institutional Facilities

Premium Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Trash Bags for Professional Healthcare & Institutional Waste Management

McKesson heavy-duty trash can liners deliver superior strength, reliability, and environmental responsibility for hospitals, long-term care facilities, medical offices, and institutional waste management programs. Engineered from prime virgin LLDPE resins with innovative star seal bottom construction, these coreless interleaved trash bags provide exceptional tear resistance, puncture protection, and leak prevention for demanding healthcare and commercial applications.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Prime Virgin LLDPE Resin Construction: Manufactured exclusively from premium-grade linear low-density polyethylene resins—never recycled materials—ensuring consistent thickness, superior tensile strength, and reliable performance across every bag in the case
• Patented Star Seal Bottom Technology: Advanced star-shaped seal configuration distributes weight evenly across the bag bottom, eliminating weak points and preventing leaks, tears, and messy spills even with heavy, sharp, or irregularly shaped waste
• Coreless Interleaved Roll Design: Space-saving coreless packaging with interleaved dispensing allows one-at-a-time bag removal, reducing storage footprint by up to 40% compared to traditional cored rolls while preventing waste from tangled or stuck bags
• Source Reduction Engineering: Optimized gauge thickness and resin formulation deliver maximum strength with minimal material usage, supporting environmental sustainability initiatives and reducing plastic consumption without compromising performance
• Latex-Free Formulation: Not made with natural rubber latex, eliminating allergic reaction risks for environmental services staff, housekeeping personnel, and healthcare workers with latex sensitivities
• Easy Removal & Handling: Star seal bottom design allows bags to conform to receptacle shape during filling and lift cleanly from waste containers without tearing or sticking, reducing staff time and effort during waste collection rounds
• High-Capacity Performance: Engineered to handle heavy loads, wet waste, and sharp objects commonly found in healthcare, foodservice, and institutional environments without splitting or leaking

Star Seal Technology: Superior Performance Engineering

The star seal bottom represents a significant advancement over traditional flat-seal and gusset-seal trash bag designs. By distributing stress across multiple seal points in a star pattern, these bags eliminate the single point of failure common in conventional liners. This engineering innovation means waste loads settle evenly into the bag rather than concentrating pressure on vulnerable seams, dramatically reducing the risk of bottom blowouts, corner tears, and leakage incidents that create safety hazards and increase labor costs.

When lifting full bags from waste receptacles, the star seal configuration allows the bag to release cleanly from the container walls without adhering or tearing. This feature is particularly valuable in high-volume waste collection environments where housekeeping staff process dozens or hundreds of bags per shift—reducing physical strain, minimizing bag replacement due to damage, and accelerating waste collection rounds.

Operational Advantages for Healthcare & Institutional Buyers

McKesson trash bags streamline waste management operations through intelligent design features that reduce total cost of ownership. The coreless interleaved packaging eliminates the bulky cardboard cores found in traditional trash bag rolls, freeing up valuable storage space in housekeeping closets, central supply rooms, and custodial areas. Facilities can stock more bags in the same footprint, reducing reorder frequency and minimizing stockout situations.

Source reduction engineering delivers environmental and economic benefits simultaneously. By optimizing resin formulation and gauge thickness, these bags use less plastic material while maintaining superior strength characteristics. This approach supports corporate sustainability goals, reduces waste stream volume, and lowers per-unit costs—all without compromising the performance standards required in demanding healthcare environments.

The latex-free formulation ensures compatibility with workplace safety protocols and accommodates staff members with latex allergies or sensitivities. This inclusive design eliminates the need to stock separate latex-free alternatives, simplifying inventory management and ensuring all environmental services personnel can safely handle waste collection duties.

Quality Assurance & Consistency

Manufactured exclusively from prime virgin LLDPE resins rather than recycled or reclaimed materials, these trash bags deliver predictable, consistent performance across every unit in every case. Prime resin construction ensures uniform thickness, reliable tensile strength, and dependable puncture resistance—critical factors when managing healthcare waste that may include sharp objects, heavy materials, or wet refuse.

Rigorous quality control processes monitor seal integrity, material thickness, and dimensional accuracy throughout production, ensuring each bag meets McKesson's exacting standards for institutional-grade waste management products. This commitment to quality reduces callback complaints, minimizes bag failures during use, and protects your facility's reputation for cleanliness and operational excellence.

Procurement & Inventory Management

Available in economical 100-count cases optimized for institutional purchasing and auto-reorder programs. Compatible with standardized procurement systems, GPO contracts, and supply chain management platforms commonly used in healthcare facilities. Compact coreless packaging reduces shipping costs, minimizes storage requirements, and simplifies inventory rotation in central supply departments.
