⚡ At a Glance
- • Safety Features: Clear self-activating safety shield with temporary and final closure reduces exposure risk
- • Best for: Clinics, GP surgeries and care homes needing compact, compliant sharps containment
- • Not ideal for: Facilities requiring larger than 3 litre capacity, or very high-volume theatres
Fifth generation, 3 litre sharps bin with a semi-translucent lid and recycled components. Complies with ISO23907-1:2012 and UN3291 for clinical waste handling.
Safer disposal - with a clear self-activating safety shield
A shield made from 100% recycled material engages automatically when items are deposited, covering sharps to prevent hand contact. Temporary and final closures lock the aperture for secure sealing.
Hands-on contact during disposal is minimised, lowering the chance of needle-stick incidents and cross-contamination in routine use.
Audit-ready tracking - with permanent in-mould labelling
An in-mould label is integrated into the bin during manufacture, creating a permanent audit trail that cannot be removed. Labelling remains legible through normal handling and use.
Traceability for clinical waste becomes straightforward, helping practices meet audit requirements and maintain consistent records.
Eco-conscious construction - with low carbon footprint recycled materials
Primary components are produced from recycled plastics, including the safety shield, to reduce lifecycle environmental impact. Manufacturing choices aim to lower the bin's carbon footprint.
Reduced environmental impact suits practices aiming for sustainability, without compromising on containment or safety.
