Covidien 8970 SharpSafety Sharps Container Rotor Lid Red 2 Gal. CS/10

Covidien 8970 SharpSafety™ 2-Gallon Sharps Container with Rotor Lid (Case of 10)

The Covidien 8970 is a high-capacity, high-security sharps disposal solution designed for environments where extra protection is required. This 2-gallon (7.6L) container features a specialized Rotor Lid, which facilitates easy one-handed disposal while acting as a physical barrier to prevent unauthorized access or accidental contact with discarded contents. The rotor design is particularly effective in preventing "overstuffing," as the mechanism only rotates when there is sufficient clearance, ensuring the container remains within safe OSHA fill limits.

Constructed from puncture-resistant polypropylene, the 8970 features a transparent red base that allows clinical staff to monitor the fill level from across the room. Its horizontal drop path maximizes the 2-gallon internal volume, allowing larger sharps to lay flat and preventing the "pyramiding" that often leads to premature disposal.
