Frequently asked questions
Does the horizontal design help maximize capacity?
Yes, the horizontal entry design is specifically engineered to allow for full utilization of the container volume up to the fill-line. This design prevents premature disposal and ensures you get the most out of every 1-gallon unit.
Is the material durable enough for medical sharps?
Absolutely. The container is constructed from high-strength polypropylene, which is a puncture-resistant material designed to meet or exceed rigorous industry safety standards for handling medical waste.
How can I easily tell when it is full?
The lid is crafted from translucent material, providing clear visual feedback so you can quickly identify the fill status without needing to open the container or guess.
Is this container safe for professional clinical disposal?
Yes, it is designed for clinical and professional healthcare environments. It is autoclave and incinerator safe; when processed correctly, it breaks down into only carbon dioxide and water.
Does it lock for safe transport?
Yes, the unit features a locking mechanism integrated into the lid, which ensures the contents are securely contained during transport after the container has reached its capacity.
Is this product suitable for those with latex allergies?
Yes, the McKesson Sharps Container is not made with natural rubber latex, making it safe for use in environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
Can these be stored easily when not in use?
They are designed to be stackable, which allows for efficient, space-saving storage in supply closets or medical cabinets until you are ready to put them into service.
Are there accessories available for mounting the container?
Yes, for added stability and security in professional settings, this container pairs well with the McKesson wall-mounting bracket (MFR # 8782).
Is this container intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a single-use only product. Once the container reaches the fill-line, it should be locked and disposed of according to your facility’s biohazard waste protocols.
Does the lid provide a secure closure?
The container includes a hinged snap-on lid that is designed for easy operation while maintaining a secure, puncture-resistant seal for the safety of clinical staff.
