An 8L sharps container is a practical option for facilities that generate moderate volumes of needles, syringes, lancets, blades and other sharp medical items.

Who should use it?

Clinics, dental rooms, laboratories, vaccination areas, tattoo studios, mobile healthcare teams and treatment rooms may use 8L sharps containers depending on waste volume.

Safe use rules
