Safe, One-Handed Sharps Disposal
Safe sharps disposal shouldn't require awkward two-handed handling or guesswork about how full a container is. The Medline Patient Room Sharps Container features a counter-balanced lid that facilitates safe, one-handed disposal, while the fully clear body makes fill levels especially easy to monitor at a glance.
A horizontal-entry, locking lid design helps prevent accidental access, and a tortuous path safety feature adds an extra layer of protection against reaching inside. This 5 qt. container works as a standalone freestanding unit or can be wall-mounted with a compatible locking bracket (sold separately), making it a flexible fit for patient rooms, labs, or other high-traffic clinical spaces. Available as a single unit or a full case of 20 for ongoing supply.

This clear version and Medline's translucent red version of the same container (SKU MDS705153) share identical dimensions and safety features — the difference is purely visibility. A fully clear container makes it easier to spot the fill level at a glance from a distance, which can be useful in busy clinical settings where a quick visual check matters. If color-coding by department or waste type is part of your facility's protocol, the translucent red version may be the more consistent choice instead.

How does this compare to the translucent red version?
Both share identical dimensions and safety features. This version is fully clear for easier visibility of fill levels, while the translucent red version may better suit facilities using color-coded waste protocols.
Can this be mounted to a wall?
Yes, this container can be used as a standalone freestanding unit or mounted to a wall using a compatible locking bracket, sold separately.
How does the counter-balanced lid work?
The lid automatically returns to a closed position after each use, helping reduce the chance the disposal opening is left accessible between uses.
