Sharps Bins

Sharps Bins for Injury and Infection Protection

In medical practices and hospitals, sharp and pointed instruments are used daily. Safe disposal is essential in these settings, as medical waste poses a significant risk of injury and infection to both healthcare and cleaning staff.

Medical disposal containers and sharps bins provide a simple and effective way to safely dispose of scalpels, broken ampoules, cannulas, and other injection or infusion accessories. Their distinctive yellow-red colour ensures they are easily recognisable as sharps disposal units.

Requirements for a Sharps Bin

Medical sharps bins for the disposal of syringes, needles, single-use instruments, and opened glass ampoules should comply with DIN EN ISO 23907 to ensure safe use in healthcare settings.

Sharps bins are typically made from polypropylene. This material is not only extremely durable and puncture-resistant but also withstands extreme heat or cold without breaking.

For practices that need to dispose of larger items, such as syringes with attached needles or medical instruments, sharps bins with a larger disposal opening are ideal. Likewise, sharps bins must be safely, odourlessly, and liquid-tight sealable to protect disposal staff from injury and infection.

An example is the Teqler Sharps Bin, available in sizes ranging from 200 ml to 22 l. This puncture-resistant disposal container can be temporarily or permanently sealed. For even safer disposal, needles can be removed from syringes contact-free using the integrated slit.

Sharps Bins in every Size for every Need

Sharps bins are available for different fill capacities. Smaller disposal containers are ideal for home visits or other mobile applications, as their 200 ml capacity fits perfectly into standard medical or emergency kits.

Medical practices and hospitals with a higher volume of waste with increased injury risk typically use sharps bins with larger capacities, ranging from 1 litre to 50 litres. Empty bins are stackable, taking up minimal storage space.

Disposal Containers for Contaminated Waste

Consumables such as gloves, swabs, or plasters contaminated with blood or wound exudate must be disposed of correctly to reduce the risk of infection for staff. Suitable containers are typically made of cardboard and lined with a high-density polyethylene film. This special lining prevents any leakage of waste fluids. Thanks to their foldable design, cardboard boxes are particularly space-saving for storage.

For example, we offer the Sharpsafe Disposal Carton from Dahlhausen. This container is ideal for safe disposal of medical practice and hospital waste and can be stacked to save space. The polyethylene lining makes the disposal carton leak-proof. Due to its limited puncture resistance, this type of container should not be used for disposing of sharp objects.
