Color Options

Our containers colors were formulated to allow the end user to visualize the contents fill level against the “maximum” fill level marker displayed on labels.

CONTAINER SAFETY FEATURES

Choose from Post Medical’s tamper evident cap closure or re-sealable snap closure containers to best fit your specific needs.

Rose petal-style mouth inserts in our quart containers are designed to provide a soft barrier to help retain contents if tipped and to deter hand or device insertion.

Snap Closures

All of Post Medical’s quart container sizes offer a unique Snap Closure design that targets the needs of caregivers in the field who prefer a smaller, lightweight yet secure container that can be easily sealed and re-sealed throughout the day

FAQs

Are there any CDC guidelines for using containers for sharps safely?

The CDC recommends that you use sharps containers to safely dispose of all needle-like objects that may be contaminated with blood or infectious material. Seal the container once the sharps reach the fill line for safe disposal. If a sharps container does not have a fill line, the CDC recommends only filling it to the ¾ mark before disposal.

What is an FDA-cleared sharps bin container?

Containers for sharps that are cleared by the FDA are generally those that you can purchase through medical supply companies, like Post Medical, pharmacies, and healthcare providers. Appropriate sharps containers must be leak-proof and puncture-resistant. They should also have a tight-fitting lid.

Does the fire department accept needle collection containers for disposal?

Unfortunately, only some fire departments have the capacity to accept sharps containers for disposal. Visit www.safeneedledisposal.org to find your local sharps disposal outlets or check with your local fire department to confirm their policies before dropping off any items. If you need an alternative disposal site, call your local pharmacy, hospital, or nursing home to inquire about sharps collection programs.

Does Medicare cover costs for medical sharps containers?

Medicare does not cover the cost of sharps containers for patients. Reach out to your pharmacy or state resources to learn about the loyalty programs they offer to help lower the cost of essential medical tools.
