Anti-fishing protection - thanks to a metal baffle
A metal baffle sits behind the drop opening to block direct access and prevent items being retrieved through the slot. The baffle creates a restricted passage so objects fall into the internal chamber while blocking fingers or hooks.
Reduces the risk of unauthorised retrieval during and after deposit, giving controlled one-way disposal for returned medication.
Discreet disposal - with a compact, defined drop opening
The drop opening measures 9-1/2" (W) x 2-1/4" (H) with a 2-1/4" drop clearance, providing a narrow aperture for deposits. The size accommodates envelopes and small medication containers without exposing contents.
Allows staff and patients to drop items quickly and discreetly while keeping the internal contents out of sight.
Controlled access - thanks to a tubular-style key lock and double steel door
A tubular-style lock with a double 'D' configuration secures the access door; two keys are supplied for authorised retrieval. The double steel door adds a secondary layer of mechanical resistance to tampering.
Ensures only authorised personnel can access the collected items, simplifying secure handling and chain-of-custody routines.
