What is the 1.4 Litre Sharps Container used for?

The RE1.4LS Sharps Container is designed for the safe collection and disposal of used needles, syringes, lancets and other small sharps waste. Its compact size makes it suitable for treatment rooms, patient care areas, community healthcare settings and mobile applications where sharps disposal needs to be easily accessible.

What types of waste can be placed in this sharps container?

The container is intended for the disposal of sharps and related clinical waste, including needles, syringes, lancets, swabs, dressings and small quantities of contaminated materials. Users should always follow their facility’s waste management policies and local regulations regarding acceptable contents.

Does the container have a secure locking mechanism?

Yes. The RE1.4LS features both temporary and final closure positions. The temporary closure helps prevent access between uses, while the final lock permanently secures the container when it reaches capacity, supporting safe transport and disposal.

Is the 1.4 Litre Sharps Container suitable for wall mounting?

Yes. The container can be used with compatible wall brackets and mounting systems, helping to keep sharps disposal points accessible while reducing bench or floor clutter in clinical environments.

Can the container be used in aged care and community healthcare settings?

Absolutely. The compact footprint and lightweight design make it well suited to aged care facilities, community nursing, general practice clinics, pathology collection centres and other healthcare environments where smaller volumes of sharps waste are generated.

How do I know when the container should be replaced?

The container should be replaced once it reaches the designated fill line. Overfilling a sharps container can increase the risk of injury and may compromise safe disposal practices. Always engage the final lock before removing the container for disposal.

Can this sharps container be used with an IDC Medical Sharps Safe?

Yes. The RE1.4LS is compatible with selected IDC Medical Steel Sharps Safe, providing an additional level of protection against tampering, theft and unauthorised access in public or high-risk environments.
