The Prevent Sharps Container - 2268 by McKesson keeps everyone safe from accidental pokes. Its puncture-resistant construction helps guard against biohazards spread by used sharps. The design allows for the touchless deposit of spent needles, lancets, syringes, etc. (Don't forget to replace your lancets. You can use these from Owen if you desire.)
Rated as Packing Group II (PG-II), this McKesson Prevent Sharps Disposal unit holds contaminated sharps with an Oral Toxicity of 5 to 50, a Dermal Toxicity of 50 to 200, and an Inhalation Toxicity of 0.2 to 2. Its 18-gallon capacity stores up to 62 pounds.
The hinged lid system keeps the lid connected to the container, saving your staff time. A 16 point positive locking system clicks closed with a series of audible sounds to verify that the cover is sealed and airtight. This unit features a 'full-lock mode' that keeps the lock shut during shipping.
The Prevent 18 Gallon Sharps Disposal Container works with most existing hardware (such as wall-mounted cases and braces) to restrict access for better security. Mounting your unit helps prevent trips and falls as well.
Each time you replace a sharps container, you may wish to check your supply of needles to make sure you have enough. If you are running low, you might want to get some like these from Becton Dickinson.
