Description

The PG-II Flat Sharps Container with Port Lid, Red, 18 Gal, is engineered for the safe and efficient disposal of medical sharps and biohazardous waste in high-volume healthcare settings. Constructed from durable rigid plastic, these containers are designed to withstand rigorous use while maintaining secure containment of needles, scalpels, chemotherapy waste, and other hazardous materials. Their red color clearly designates them as biohazard receptacles, supporting compliance with infection control protocols and safety standards.

These containers have been tested to meet Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, eliminating the need for secondary packaging during disposal. The port lid features a gasket seal to resist leaks, ensuring safe containment of waste and reducing the risk of exposure to healthcare personnel. Integrated side handles provide ease of transport, and the nestable design enables efficient storage and reduces shipping costs.

The 18-gallon (72-quart) capacity supports large-volume waste management in operating rooms, chemotherapy units, and other medical environments. Trolley carts equipped with a foot pedal allow hands-free lid operation, enhancing staff safety and workflow efficiency. Containers are suitable for placement in restricted access areas, ensuring secure disposal even in high-traffic settings.
