Sharpsguard Orange 22L Sharps Container for Scotland (Case of 10)

As hospitals and other medical environments can often generate a lot of clinical and potentially harmful waste, it is important to ensure that correct storage and disposal systems are in place. The Sharpsguard Orange 22L Sharps Container for Scotland (Case of 10) conforms to SHTN 3, enabling the safe disposal of sharps via the orange stream.

Please note that the Orange 22L Sharps Container is not suitable for sharps contaminated with medicinal products.

Safer Design

The Sharpsguard Orange 22L Sharps Container has been designed to provide a safer method of storing sharps for disposal via the orange stream. The solid structure enables a larger capacity, providing storage for up to twenty-two litres of sharps waste at any one time. This will be particularly useful for theatres, laboratories, and sluice rooms, where high volumes of waste can be produced.

The container also includes an orange lid to allow for colour coding. This will provide a visual prompt for eliminating the chance of objects being placed in the incorrect containers. The label on the front of the container will also provide improved safety, with space for writing information including the container’s location, department, and start date.

Ideal for Versatile Use

As the Orange 22L Sharps Container is larger in size to enable maximum capacity, it can be used in a wide range of situations. It is ideal for hospitals and wards where the frequent disposal of sharps is required, and will also be useful for carrying to and from needle exchange points and clinics in between use.

Standards Conformity

The Sharps Container conforms to the Scottish Health Technical Note 3: NHSScotland Waste Management Guidance. This means that it meets the specifications required by the standard for the disposal of sharps that have not been contaminated by medicinal products.

Conforming to the standard will help provide assurance that the Sharpsguard Container is a safe and reliable option for the disposal of sharps via the orange stream in Scotland.
