Product Information

Full details

This guide is for healthcare, veterinary, and hygiene-conscious individuals or facilities managing non-infectious offensive waste. The key benefit is providing a discreet and reliable disposal solution for everyday hygiene and non-hazardous medical refuse. A potential caveat is that these bags are specifically designed for non-infectious waste only. The GV Health Offensive Waste Bags are 20-liter capacity, star-sealed bags designed for the disposal of human and animal hygiene waste, non-infectious medical items, and PPE. Each roll contains 50 bags, made from 15-micron material for durability.

FAQs

What type of waste can I put in these bags?

These bags are designed for non-infectious, offensive waste. This includes sanitary waste, nappies, incontinence pads, non-infectious PPE, animal faeces, soiled animal bedding, and general medical waste that does not pose an infection risk.

Can these bags be used for infectious waste?

No, these bags are strictly for non-infectious waste. Do not use them for sharps, clinical waste with a known infection risk, or hazardous materials.

How do I seal the bag?

The bags feature a star seal closure. Gather the top edges of the bag and twist them together before folding them down and tucking them into the center to create a secure seal.

What is the volume of each bag?

Each bag has a capacity of 20 litres.

How many bags are on one roll?

There are 50 bags on each roll.

Are these bags biodegradable?

The product information does not specify biodegradability. Please refer to packaging for disposal and environmental information.

What are the dimensions of the bags?

The bag dimensions are 9 x 17 x 26 inches.

Troubleshooting

Bag tears during use

Ensure the bag is not overfilled and that sharp objects are not forced into it. Consider double-bagging for particularly bulky or rough waste.

Odor containment is insufficient

Check that the star seal is applied tightly and completely. Avoid leaving the bag exposed for extended periods before disposal. Ensure the correct waste type is being used.

Bag does not fit receptacle well

While designed for 20-litre bins, some bin shapes may vary. Ensure the bag is opened wide enough to drape over the edges of the bin before filling.
