Frequently asked questions
Does this container destroy the sharps inside?
Yes, it uses advanced encapsulation technology. By adding the included catalyst packs, the container generates heat to melt and convert the sharps into a solid plastic polymer, rendering them permanently destroyed and unusable.
Can I throw this in the regular trash?
Once the treatment process is complete and the contents are encapsulated into a solid mass, the container is rendered inert and is typically safe for disposal in regular waste streams. Please note that you should always verify your local state and municipal regulations, as some jurisdictions require specific permits for in-office sharps treatment.
How do I know when the treatment is finished?
The container features a helpful visual treatment indicator. It starts with a translucent red-tinted base and will turn opaque once the reaction is successfully completed and the sharps are fully encapsulated.
Are there specific states where this cannot be used?
While the product is highly effective, users in CT, DE, ME, MD, NJ, NY, OR, VT, and VA should specifically verify their local permitting requirements for in-office sharps treatment before purchasing or using the system.
What is included with the container?
Your purchase includes the main container unit and the necessary catalyst packs required to trigger the encapsulation process.
Is this suitable for a small countertop?
Absolutely. With a compact footprint measuring 5.25 inches wide and 5 inches deep, it is designed to be a space-efficient, freestanding unit perfect for medical workstations, dental offices, or clinic countertops.
Is the lid secure for safe handling?
Yes, the container features a secure, screw-on lid with a vertical entry design. This setup ensures that sharps are deposited safely and the container remains closed securely during and after the treatment process.
Is the container easy to transport?
Yes, it is designed with a jug-style silhouette and includes integrated side grips, making it stable and easy to handle when moving from your workstation to the disposal area.
