Covidien Sharps Waste Container 2 Gallon with Lid Case of 20 Containers

The Covidien 8820 SharpSafety Waste Container is a specialized 2-gallon medical waste vessel designed for the safe disposal of needles, syringes, and other medical sharps. Constructed from puncture-resistant polypropylene, these containers are a standard safety component in hospitals, dental offices, and laboratories. The 2-gallon capacity provides a balance between high-volume storage and a manageable footprint for benchtop or wall-mounted use. Each container features a translucent red body, allowing staff to monitor fill levels at a glance to prevent overfilling, which is a critical safety requirement for OSHA compliance.

The 8820 model is equipped with a specific lid assembly designed to minimize the risk of accidental needle sticks. The lid features a "vertical drop" or "side-entry" design that allows for one-handed disposal, keeping the user’s hands away from the opening. Once the container reaches its capacity, the lid can be permanently locked for final transport and disposal, ensuring that the contents remain secure during the medical waste hauling process. The units are nestable when empty to save storage space and are designed to fit into standard Covidien wall brackets or carts.
