Bemis SharpSentinel 2-Gallon Sharps Container (30/Case)

The Bemis SharpSentinel container is engineered with a dual closure system to ensure safe and secure containment throughout the entire sharps disposal process.

This system includes two distinct mechanisms:

1. Temporary Closure: This feature allows the container to be securely sealed between uses, preventing accidental spillage or unauthorized access while the container is still in service in clinical areas.
2. Final Closure: Once the container reaches its designated fill level, a robust, permanent mechanism is engaged to lock the unit completely. This ensures secure handling and transport when the sharps container is ready for disposal.

After the final closure is applied, the containers are suitable for disposal methods such as autoclaving or incineration, which ensures compliance with strict medical waste protocols.

Yes, these Bemis SharpSentinel containers are engineered for high capacity and efficient volume use. Here is what they accommodate:

• Sharps Size: The containers can accept syringes up to 60cc.
• Volume Optimization: A key feature is the horizontal drop design, which maximizes the usable volume within the 2-gallon capacity, optimizing disposal space.

The Bemis SharpSentinel is a 2-gallon capacity container. The horizontal drop design also helps maximize its usable volume.

The external physical dimensions (Length x Width x Height) are:

• Length: 11 5/8 inches
• Width: 7.75 inches
• Height: 8 5/8 inches

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel containers feature a nestable design.

This crucial design element ensures maximum efficiency and cost savings for healthcare facilities:

• Optimized Storage: Nesting significantly reduces the space required for storing empty containers in supply rooms and stock areas.
• Reduced Shipping Costs: The nestable nature helps optimize packaging for bulk orders, minimizing shipping volume (these containers are sold in cases of 30 units).

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel containers are engineered for secure final disposal. They are specifically suitable for both autoclaving and incineration, providing medical facilities with flexible and compliant methods for destroying hazardous waste after use.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel is designed for versatile placement in various clinical environments, offering both security and space efficiency. You can use the container in two ways:

• Freestanding: It sits securely on surfaces such as med carts, lab benches, or nurses’ stations.
• Wall Mounting: For fixed placement near procedure areas, the container can be mounted to a wall.

Please note: Wall mounting requires the purchase of compatible, optional accessories:

• Mounting Bracket (Part #435 020)
• Key (Part #440 020)

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel containers include multilingual labeling.

This feature is critical for:

• User Safety Assurance: Ensuring clear understanding of disposal instructions across diverse medical staff.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meeting safety standards in various healthcare environments.

The containers also utilize clear biohazard indicators (via the prominent red label) to ensure the contents are easily and safely identified.

The Bemis SharpSentinel 2-Gallon Sharps Containers are packaged for high-volume use. Each case contains 30 individual 2-gallon containers.

An important feature of this packaging is that the units are designed to be nestable when empty, which significantly helps in maximizing storage space and reducing shipping costs.

The Bemis SharpSentinel containers are available in three translucent color configurations to support different clinical waste segregation protocols:

• Translucent Beige: A neutral option, suitable where a less conspicuous container is preferred.
• Translucent Red: Often designated for specific infectious waste or pathological materials, aligning with certain facility waste codes.
• Translucent Yellow: Commonly used for standard biohazardous waste containment protocols.

Regardless of the color chosen, the translucence of the containers and lids allows personnel to quickly and safely identify the fill level, which is a key feature for preventing overfilling.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel containers are equipped with built-in handles for convenient and secure handling and transport within clinical environments. This feature aids in safe relocation prior to final disposal.

However, there is a crucial limitation:

• The use of these handles is excluded when transporting containers designated specifically for phlebotomy applications, as per product specifications.
