Frequently asked questions
Is the product brand new?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Sharpsafety Carts & Floor Brackets are guaranteed to be Factory New.
This ensures you receive the highest quality equipment, ready for immediate deployment in regulated clinical environments and compliant with safety standards.
What are the essential safety features?
These Cardinal Health Sharpsafety Carts are engineered to maximize user safety, minimize exposure risk, and ensure regulatory compliance in medical environments. This is achieved through several integrated features:
- Safe, One-Handed Disposal: The disposal mechanism uses a foot-operated pedal to open the lid (on applicable models), minimizing direct user contact with the container.
- Exposure Reduction: Lids can remain securely closed when the cart is stationary, which actively reduces exposure to hazardous contents and helps prevent compliance issues.
- Ergonomic Design: The cart allows heavy, full containers to be safely removed from the side with minimal lifting, reducing strain and injury risk for staff.
- Regulatory Compliance: The systems are designed to support OSHA 29 CFR 1910.130 requirements by maintaining sharps containers in the required upright position throughout their use.

Key features of the handle include:
- Telescopic: It extends for comfortable maneuvering during transport.
- Retractable: It can be retracted when the unit is stationary, ensuring it is compact and space-saving.
Where are these safety carts best utilized?
These Sharpsafety Carts are specifically designed for environments that require stringent safety protocols and manage high-volume medical waste or specialized waste (like chemotherapy containers).
They are best utilized in:
- Clinical Settings and Operating Rooms: Where high volumes of regulated medical waste disposal occur.
- Laboratories and Procedural Areas: Requiring efficient, hands-free operation and stringent compliance.
A major benefit is their design, which supports adherence to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.130 requirements by facilitating safe, one-handed disposal and ensuring containers remain upright. The foot-pedal models are especially optimized for high-traffic areas demanding high hygiene standards.
