Advanced Safety Features for Secure Containment

Designed with healthcare worker safety as the top priority, this sharps container features a secure locking lid mechanism that ensures safe transport and prevents accidental exposure during handling and disposal.

The leak-resistant construction prevents fluid seepage, maintaining a clean and safe disposal environment. The bright red base color provides immediate visual identification as a biohazard waste receptacle, ensuring proper handling protocols are followed by all staff members. This container is not made with natural rubber latex, making it safe for use in latex-sensitive environments.
